The Coronavirus pandemic is again increasing in Romania, unfortunately, so we are once again talking about a very big problem for the authorities, the number of daily cases exceeding 5200 new infections this week, being on the rise compared to last week.
This increase in the number of cases also generates an increase in the occupancy of beds at ATI, but also the number of deaths, so the problems continue to grow in Romania due to the Coronavirus as new cases continue to be confirmed.
The good news is that we are talking about more and more Romanians being vaccinated daily against the Coronavirus, and this shows us that people are interested in immunizing themselves as more and more vaccine doses are expected in Romania by the authorities.
The difference compared to last Saturday is over 900 cases, or over 20%.
