The upward trend of the Coronavirus pandemic continues in Romania, the delta variant generating large percentage increases in the number of cases from one week to the next, as you can see in the figures presented by the authorities in our country.
Unfortunately, the number of hospitalized patients is increasing from one week to the next, both in the normal wards and in the intensive care units, the authorities seriously preparing for the fourth wave of infections with the new Coronavirus .
The vaccination campaign still remains at a low level, this despite the fact that the authorities have announced a new series of changes to boost immunization, but rather they are waiting for people to be convinced by the increase in the number of new cases.
"Until today, September 3, 1.103.198 cases of people infected with the new coronavirus (COVID-19) have been confirmed on the territory of Romania.
1.057.522 patients were declared cured.

*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.
**As for cases from abroad, these are cases of citizens who came to Romania having been infected in other countries. These cases were included in the total of new cases not allocated by county.
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:
