Three records of infections with the new Coronavirus were registered this week in Romania, an extremely big problem for our country in the conditions that hospitals can no longer cope with the very large number of patients who continue to come every day in almost every county in the country .
Unfortunately, we also had a record number of deaths recorded the other day due to the Coronavirus, the number of patients admitted to intensive care is also the highest so far, and numbers like this keep coming because many Romanians continue to get infected.
Although many would have expected the state of emergency and quarantine to be imposed a long time ago, the Romanian Government has other plans, Romanians having to respect the protective measures to avoid an infection, especially since the situation of the medical system is once again starting to become one extremely serious, unfortunately.
"Until today, October 24, on the territory of Romania, 205.793 cases of people infected with the new coronavirus (COVID-19) have been confirmed.
147.932 patients were declared cured.
