The Coronavirus pandemic continues in force in Romania, even if the number of cases seems to be decreasing, unfortunately we are talking about more and more deaths, with alarming numbers being recorded in recent days, which shows us how serious the problem still is.
Although the number of free beds at the ATI increased, unfortunately this happened due to the death of many patients who were hospitalized in these wards, and it is expected that the situation will continue because there were many new cases announced in the last weeks.
The vaccination campaign still seems to be going better and better, this week being new vaccination records, getting closer to the goal of 100.000 people immunized daily against the Coronavirus in Romania.

*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:
