After two days with many new cases of Coronavirus in Romania, today we expect something similar from the authorities, and this is because we have been on an upward trend for some time in terms of infections, especially after the restart of certain activities in our country.
The numbers of people who have died, or are in intensive care, due to infection with the new Coronavirus, are still quite high, which is ultimately to be expected, if we consider that for over two months we have had over 1000 infections in every day in our country.
The Coronavirus pandemic will not disappear soon, but will worsen in Romania, and this is because school has started again, and the authorities expect new increases in the number of daily cases of infection in Romania, which of course represents the main problem for all the world.
"Until today, September 18, on the territory of Romania, 110.217 cases of people infected with the new coronavirus (COVID-19) have been confirmed.
88.235 patients were declared cured.
Note: The figure represents the total number of people cured since the beginning of the pandemic and resulted from the revision and updating of data by the Ministry of Health and CNCCI.
Following the tests carried out at the national level, compared to the last report, 1.527 new cases of people infected with SARS - CoV - 2 (COVID - 19) were registered, these being cases that have not previously had a positive test.
