The Government of Romania: The New Relaxation Measures from June 1, 2021

Romanian Government New Relaxation Measures June 1, 2021

The Romanian government announced today the new relaxation measures that will come into force starting on June 1st, and as we were promised, we are talking about a series of extremely good measures that will most certainly please millions of Romanians.

The Romanian government now allows the participation of more people in a more varied range of events, but only for vaccinated people in most cases, plus for cured people, or with a negative test, but here only in certain situations.

"We have established, in the Government, new relaxation measures that will be applied from June 1. We are quickly moving towards normality and the faster we vaccinate, the more we can remove the other restrictions.
I would like to highlight the most important measures taken today:

  • The protective sanitary mask will no longer be mandatory for vaccinated persons working in closed spaces where there are no more than five workers.
  • We increased the number of participants in cultural-artistic entertainment activities, held in open spaces, from 500 to 1.000 people. Only vaccinated people, with a negative test or those who have been through the disease can participate, under conditions of distance and wearing a mask. We have created the legal framework for over 1.000 people to participate in these activities, only if they are vaccinated.
  • We have increased the number of people who can travel in groups to eight.
    Private events can be held - weddings, baptisms, etc., with 50 people in closed spaces and 70 people in open spaces.
  • The number of participating people can only be higher if all people are vaccinated.
  • Sports activities can take place both indoors and outdoors, with the participation of spectators up to 25% of the capacity of the space.
  • Participation above this limit is only allowed if all persons are vaccinated, have a negative test or are vaccinated before entering the event. Which means that vaccination centers will be organized at sporting events.
  • We have increased the number of people who can participate in cultural, scientific, artistic, entertainment activities, in sports or fitness halls, in training courses.
  • We have decided to reopen swimming pools and playgrounds, under health protection conditions.
  • We have determined the increase in the degree of occupancy of the tables inside the restaurants and accommodation spaces on the seashore."
