Several people died of swine flu (H1N1) in Georgia during the last two weeks, Rustavi 2 television reports.

These patients died of comorbidities due to complications related to the H1N1 virus, and none of them had been vaccinated.

Patients usually go to the hospital mainly due to running a fever, but running a fever is not amenable to drug treatment.

The doctors noted that the antiviral treatment of swine flu is effective during the first 72 hours of the illness, and therefore they urge the patients to consult a doctor on time and not to resort to self-medication.

Doctors expect that the peak of this virus will be in late January.
