The number of new cases of the Corona virus has been on a rapid increase lately, and even the estimates of the authorities turn out to be wrong, in a negative sense, because very large numbers of infections are reached much faster than they thought.
This has brought thousands of people to hospitals across the country, with hundreds hospitalized in intensive care, and almost 100 deaths announced daily, the pandemic situation being extremely serious and will continue to become more serious in the coming weeks.
The vaccination campaign continues at the same pace as in recent weeks, and this is because there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to vaccinate against the Coronavirus, even if it is seen that without this protection, everyone is vulnerable.
"Until today, September 15, 1.130.586 cases of people infected with the new coronavirus (COVID-19) have been confirmed on the territory of Romania.
1.070.645 patients were declared cured.
Following the tests carried out at the national level, compared to the last report, 4.004 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.
**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:
