In the midst of the Corona virus pandemic, we are waiting for a new information from the authorities in Romania regarding the new cases registered in the past 24 hours until 10:00 on December 5, and we can expect new big figures from the authorities.
The numbers of deaths, and of people hospitalized in intensive care, continue to be very high, the authorities in our country failing to control the way the pandemic evolves from this point of view, unfortunately for everyone.
The authorities in Romania have also announced a series of relaxations of the restrictive measures imposed in our country, some coming into force today, while others will come into force from the beginning of next week, but it is possible that their effect will be negative.
"Until today, December 5, on the territory of Romania, 508.345 cases of people infected with the new coronavirus (COVID-19) have been confirmed.
399.207 patients were declared cured.
Following the tests carried out at the national level, compared to the last report, 8.072 new cases of people infected with SARS - CoV - 2 (COVID - 19) were registered, these being cases that have not previously had a positive test.

*Regarding the "new cases not allocated by county", we specify that their number is determined by the changes made to the electronic platform through which the test results for the new coronavirus are reported and centralized. Thus, according to the new methodology, the test centers directly enter the results of the tests carried out, following which the epidemiological investigation is carried out at the level of the Public Health Directorates and the positive cases are assigned to the county/locality to which the infected persons belong.
The coefficient of cumulative infections per 14 days, reported per 1.000 inhabitants, is calculated by the Directorates of Public Health, at the level of the Municipality of Bucharest and the counties. Below you have the graph made based on the reports received by the CNCCI from the Public Health Directorates:
