The situation of the Corona virus pandemic in Romania is still very serious, as vaccination has already started in some areas of the country, over 2000 people have already been vaccinated, and the number will continue to grow in the coming months.
The numbers of deaths and people admitted to intensive care are still very high, the very large number of confirmed cases of Coronavirus being the basis of this increasingly serious epidemic situation in our country.
The vaccination process will continue in the coming months, the authorities hope that by the summer they will succeed in vaccinating more than half of the Romanians, but it is difficult to say to what extent this plan will turn into reality so that everyone can return to a normal life normal.

*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:
