The Coronavirus pandemic has started to intensify in Romania, with increases between 20% and almost 50% in the number of new daily cases compared to last week, the situation being increasingly serious unfortunately for all of us.
The number of cases of people admitted to ATI, or of deaths, remains high, and most likely will increase in the coming weeks as the daily number of cases increases, so we can only follow what is happening it will happen
The vaccination campaign remained at the same pace, with a few vaccinations with the first dose continued, but perhaps the rate will increase in the coming weeks as new doses of the vaccine arrive in Romania to immunize people.

*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:
