Today, Romania exceeded the threshold of 10.000 people infected due to the Coronavirus, which is not a surprise, considering that yesterday there were over 9700 cases, so we were just one step away from crossing this important figure from the point of view psychologically.

In recent weeks, the daily average of new cases of people infected with the Coronavirus in Romania was somewhere between 300-400, and by the time the peak of infections is reached, it is estimated that we will reach 15.000-20.000 cases.

Today there is also a record for the tests done for the Coronavirus, no less than 7000 tests being done, the capacity in Romania being 8000 tests per day, but the lack of medical staff to do them is a big problem.

Coronavirus Romania situation April 23

As far as cures are concerned, there is a slight increase compared to yesterday, much lower than in the previous days, but we hope that it will return to a significant increase in the following days, to exceed 30% of the total number of infections.

"Until today, April 23, on the territory of Romania, 10.096 cases of people infected with the COVID-19 virus (coronavirus) have been confirmed. Of the people confirmed positive, 2.478 were declared cured and discharged.
