Unfortunately, the coronavirus is registering new increases in daily cases on March 5 as well, and this is because for more than a week we have seen an increasing trend of infections, with differences of approximately 20% more new cases compared to the previous week .
And in the case of patients hospitalized in intensive care, there are increases in the number of cases, as well as the situation of deaths, the Coronavirus pandemic returning in force in Romania after the reopening of schools, with more and more areas entering the red scenarios.
Fortunately, the vaccination campaign is going much better, with a new record of vaccinations recorded yesterday in Romania, and we hope that every day will bring a positive record so that we can return to normality as quickly as possible throughout the country.
"Until today, March 4, on the territory of Romania, 816.589 cases of people infected with the new coronavirus (COVID-19) have been confirmed.

*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:
