Tbilisi Infections Hospital: No Deadly Coronavirus Cases

The Medical Director of the Tbilisi Infectious Disease Hospital, Marina Ezugbaia, today said the condition of the 44-year-old man who was the fourth Georgian citizen to get infected is still serious, though his life is not at any particular risk.

At this point, none of the patients show any life-threatening complications, she claimed.

“The condition of the first three patients is mild and stable. The condition of the fourth patient with confirmed pneumonia remains severe, but not deadly. His fever persists at 38-39 degrees. According to laboratory data, his condition is stable. His life is not in danger at this stage, though constant observation and monitoring are essential”, said Ezugbaia.

Other coronavirus-infected patients show various clinical symptoms: fever, cough, cold and sore throat. Three patients have been diagnosed with pneumonia and are being treated. Although there are no life-threatening complications at this stage, it does not give us sufficient reason to remain calm, as this disease is characterized by progression,” she added.

Georgia registered two new cases of Covid-19 earlier today, bringing the country’s total number of infected persons to 15. 141 persons are in quarantine and 51 are being treated.
