Furthermore, the Health Ministry also stated that on March 22, Georgia had received the first medicine to treat COVID-19, with the first batch of Paxlovid.

According to the statement by coordinating headquarters, Georgia is the first country in the region to get this drug.

“Paxlovid” should be taken instantly after confirmation of infection; the course of treatment is 5 days. 

The infection can no longer progress by taking this medicine, which lowers the risk of hospitalization. Drug treatment prevents complications of the disease in almost 90% of cases.
