People with no previous history of Covid contract the virus more easily – doctor

The individuals who have never contracted the coronavirus infection get it more easily, Maya Butsashvili, an infectious disease specialist, said Wednesday, responding to the surge in daily infections. 

She suggested that nausea, vomiting and diarrhea were quite common symptoms for the Omicron strain of the virus.

Butsashvili said that unlike the previous practice, it was recommended to test for the virus as soon as symptoms appeared. 

Georgia reported 11,802 cases of coronavirus between July 24 and July 31 out of the 76,309 tests.
