The coronavirus is currently one of the biggest problems in Romania, with hundreds of new infections reported daily by the authorities, and this before the first results of the relaxation measures become visible to everyone.
The number of cured people continues to increase and has already passed the figure of 10.000, i.e. 60% of the number of people confirmed to be infected, but there are still more people in intensive therapy, which is quite a big problem.
198 new cases of infection have been confirmed by the authorities, in a slight increase compared to yesterday, and this in a situation where a little over 10.000 tests have been done so far in the various centers of testing.
Even if for more than a week there have been fewer cases than in previous weeks, at the end of this week we could see the first problems generated by the total relaxation of Romania from last weekend.
"Until today, May 20, on the territory of Romania, 17.387 cases of people infected with the COVID-19 virus (coronavirus) have been confirmed. Of the people confirmed positive, 10.356 were declared cured and discharged.
The number of confirmed cases, by county, according to the reporting of the National Institute of Public Health:
