A new official number of new infection cases for Romania has been published by the authorities, and as you can see, the number of cases continues to increase, as the authorities warned us, the Delta variant spreading throughout the country slowly.
In hospitals, the numbers regarding people hospitalized after being infected with the new Coronavirus are starting to increase again, especially at ATI, so it is expected that the situation will get worse before it gets better, something that is not the first time we have seen it, unfortunately.
The vaccination campaign still remains at a very low intensity, with very low numbers of daily vaccinations, so it remains to be seen if there will be any increase from this point of view, the situation being a worrying one for the authorities.
"Until today, August 3, on the territory of Romania, 1.083.711 cases of people infected with the new coronavirus (COVID-19) have been confirmed.
1.047.915 patients were declared cured.
Following the tests carried out at the national level, compared to the last report, 233 new cases of people infected with SARS - CoV - 2 (COVID - 19) were registered, these being cases that have not previously had a positive test.

*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 total number of cases related to Arad county has been updated.
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:
