Coronavirus Romania: New Cases Announced on October 13, 2020

UPDATE: Klaus Iohannis talks about the Coronavirus pandemic.

---

Today we are expecting a possible new record of new cases of Coronavirus, and this is because we are talking about tests processed after a day on Monday, in which the laboratories worked at maximum capacity, so it is expected that the number of tests processed will be a really big one.

It is also possible that the number of people hospitalized in intensive care, or of deaths, will be high again, but here we are talking about the situation from the previous months, when the number of cases was constantly high, and unfortunately some of the patients ended up in critical condition now.

Unfortunately, the Coronavirus pandemic continues with great force in Romania, with many new cases registered in our country, and it is expected that things will continue to go in this direction for the next few weeks, so we must all protect ourselves .

Bucharest has exceeded the infection rate of 3 per 1000 inhabitants, according to INSP, so a series of emergency measures will be taken to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus, schools may be closed, but we could also talk about other important measures.

"Until today, October 13, on the territory of Romania, 160.461 cases of people infected with the new coronavirus (COVID-19) have been confirmed.

120.515 patients were declared cured.

Following the tests carried out at the national level, compared to the last report, 3.109 new cases of people infected with SARS - CoV - 2 (COVID - 19) were registered, these being cases that have not previously had a positive test.
