UPDATE: Klaus Iohannis makes statements regarding the serious situation in Romania.
After the day with the record number of infections for the new Coronavirus in Romania, today we have a new record, of 614 new cases of infection, but this is the trend we are facing at the moment, and it can only be changed by all of us, not separately.
The percentage of cured people, out of the total number of those infected, has decreased in recent weeks, and the number of those admitted to intensive care units has increased, as has the number of deaths, as the Coronavirus pandemic is still extremely strong in Romania.
"Until today, July 9, on the territory of Romania, 30.789 cases of people infected with the new coronavirus (COVID-19) have been confirmed. Of the people confirmed positive, 22.574 were discharged, of which 20.969 cured patients and 1.605 asymptomatic patients, discharged 10 days after detection.
