Last week brought us increases of up to 50% for the daily number of cases compared to the previous week, so that now a lot of people are wondering if the situation will repeat itself, and the pandemic will intensify from this point of view .
The number of people admitted to ATI, and of deaths, remains high, and this situation will most likely not change soon due to the fact that there are more and more new cases reported daily, and this is their effect.
The vaccinations did not go as fast as everyone expected, and this is because there are problems regarding the number of doses available, but in March and April we should receive much more than so far, and the number of vaccinations to grow.

*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:
