Yesterday we experienced a first increase in the number of new cases of Coronavirus in Romania, once again exceeding the threshold of 3000 infections, something that was to be expected since schools reopened in our country, and over 1000 students and employees were found to be infected.
The situation of cases of people admitted to ATI and deaths due to the Coronavirus remains on a plateau, and this is because the number of cases has been reduced in recent weeks, so it is unlikely to see increases from this point of view.
The vaccination campaign is starting to go better and better, however, and this is because more and more doses of vaccines from AstraZeneca have started arriving in the country, and others from Pfizer BioNTech and Moderna are expected in the coming weeks.
