The coronavirus continues to generate new problems for Romanians all over the country, and this is because the number of infections remains surprisingly high, despite all the authorities' estimates regarding a decrease, even moderate, in the number of infections.
The number of people who died due to the new Coronavirus is also increasing, as is the number of people hospitalized in intensive care, all because of the very large number of infections that our country is facing in this very delicate period.
On the other hand, from September 1 it will be almost completely back to normal after the restaurants, theaters, cinemas, and not only, are to be reopened, the authorities saying that the number of cases of Coronavirus will increase in September and October because of this , local elections, and the resumption of school.
