The Corona virus pandemic set new records of infections in Romania this week, and the authorities expect that other records will be set in the next period due to the relaxations that still took place, and because the protective measures are not respected by the Romanians.
The numbers of people in intensive care or of deaths are still increasing, and this will continue for a good period of time because we have had a lot of infections up to now, and this situation will not stop suddenly in our country.
The authorities are imposing more and more restrictive measures in Romania to try to reduce the number of infections with the new Coronavirus, but it is also necessary for people to respect them, otherwise there will not be a decrease in the daily number of cases registered in the country ours, unfortunately.
"Until today, October 9, on the territory of Romania, 148.886 cases of people infected with the new coronavirus (COVID-19) have been confirmed.
114.792 patients were declared cured.
Following the tests carried out at the national level, compared to the last report, 3.186 new cases of people infected with SARS - CoV - 2 (COVID - 19) were registered, these being cases that have not previously had a positive test.
