Georgia to Assist Armenia with Medical Staff

Georgia will assist Armenia with medical staff, Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia announced at today's government sitting. 

"This is a global crisis, a global challenge, both epidemiologically and medically. This is also an economic crisis, and no country can handle it alone. That is why we have to support each other. As you know, the situation in our neighboring countries is quite tense. I am personally in daily contact with the Prime Minister of Armenia and other colleagues, the Minister of Health, the Minister of Economy, and we have identified what kind of assistance our neighbors need. Mutual support is extremely important now. The Ministry of Health already plans to offer assistance with medical staff, as requested by our neighbors," the PM stated. 

Armenia has already registered more than 14,000 cases of COVID-19. 

Currently, 8,650 people remain infected with COVID-19 in Armenia, while 227 have died of the coronavirus in the country.
