An explosion of new cases of Coronavirus continues to be registered in Romania, so that on September 22 we are talking about an impressive new number of new cases reported in our country by the authorities, unfortunately.
In hospitals, there are fewer and fewer places in intensive care due to the very large number of hospitalized people, while in the normal departments there are more and more people who end up being hospitalized because of the Delta variant that is spreading rapidly in the country .
The vaccination campaign still seems to be on an upward trend at the moment in Romania, which is excellent news, and that's because thanks to it, the spread of the Delta variant, but also the severity of wave 4 in the country, can be reduced.
"Until today, September 22, 1.165.886 cases of infection with the new coronavirus (COVID-19) have been registered on the territory of Romania, of which 252 are of re-infected patients, tested positive more than 180 days after first infection.

*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:
