Raed Arafat was present yesterday at the briefing held after the Government meeting in which a series of new measures were adopted for Romania, and according to the information provided by him, no new additional restrictions for unvaccinated people are being discussed.
Raed Arafat says that he did not participate in discussions where such measures were discussed, so we should not expect them to be imposed soon, even if the number of infections increases greatly from one week to the next.
"There was no discussion. I, at least in the Committee for Emergency Situations, have not heard of additional restrictions. That, in some areas, vaccination or testing upon entry may be mandatory, this is normal and exists even now in government decisions, in certain scenarios, this exists. I don't see them as restrictions for people, but I see them as protection for the rest of the people and protection for those who are in the respective spaces.
I have seen that there are decisions taken including at the ECHR level, in which the situation is already clarified and the problem is not looked at from the perspective of human rights, but from the perspective of general public law, the right to health and the fact that measures for public health are admissible. Here it is not a matter of discriminating or differentiating, but of making sure that the one entering or the people interacting do not transmit the virus to each other."
