Dear Dr. Amiran,

 

I hope you are doing well and safe. We would be grateful if NCDC could provide the EUD with the updated statistics on the COVID-19  as several EU Member State Ambassadors are interested to get it:

-          numbers of tests done in Georgia (as we understood 30 000 rapid tests purchased through WHO on 20/5; 40 000 PCR tests and 20 000 antibody tests arrived on 29/4 etc, but interested in  actual testing statistics

-          number of available beds in hospitals (and specifically in intensive care)

 

-          contact tracing – we heard about the odd cases without reported contact (how many in total)

-          possibly other stats

 

 

We thank you and NCDC colleagues in advance for  providing their updated answers to our questions,

 

Nika
