The Romanian government officially adopted today the restrictions that many people feared, and this is because people who are not vaccinated will have to have COVID certificates to have access to certain activities, and this means that they will have to be tested in beforehand, if they are not vaccinated or recently cured.
The Romanian government took this measure after the explosion of cases in recent weeks, and according to the decision adopted by the authorities, these restrictions are applied starting with incidence rates of 3/1000 inhabitants, something that has been talked about for quite some time.

- vaccinated against the SARS-CoV-2 virus and for which 10 days have passed since the completion of the full vaccination scheme
- showing the negative result of an RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 virus infection not older than 72 hours or the certified negative result of a rapid antigen test for SARS-CoV-2 virus infection not older than 48 hours hours
- which is between the 15th day and the 180th day after confirmation of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
The obligation to present the negative result of an RT-PCR test for infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, not older than 72 hours, or the certified negative result of a rapid antigen test for infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, not older than 48 hours, does not apply to persons who are less than or equal to 6 years of age.
