Situation is the same in Europe, dynamic there is increasing. Georgia underwent the same phase three weeks ago. That is why we suppose that when situation stabilizes in Georgia, flu may be spread in Georgia by the European visitors. But this is just a version and we may not face the peak at all” – says Davit Sergeenko.
