Hospitals and specialized departments, overcrowded in February with patients diagnosed with COVID-19, were empty by early April.

Due to the decline in the incidence, the government decided to close Covid hospitals and departments in Sukhum, Gagra, Tkuarchal, and Ochamchire.

As a result of this reduction, the main Covid hospital in Gudauta will remain the only medical center to combat coronavirus.

Over the entire period of the pandemic, the total number of coronavirus cases detected in Abkhazia has reached 53,000 people. 682 deaths have been registered.
