An antiviral drug for COVID-19, Paxlovid created by Pfizer will arrive in Georgia.
"Several countries in the world have this latest COVID-19 pill and I am very glad that Georgia will be one of them.", noted Zurab Azarashvili, the Minister of Healthcare.
According to him, Paxlovid will be free for everyone. It is an oral antiviral pill to treat COVID-19 that can be taken soon after symptoms surface to help keep high-risk patients from getting hospitalized.
"One should take the pill within the first five days after infection.", declared Zurab Azarashvili.
