The coronavirus remains very present in Romania during this period, yesterday record numbers were announced for the last months in our country, fulfilling the authorities' estimates which stated that there will be 10.000 new daily cases in August, only that everything is happening a bit more earlier than the Government officials expected.
The coronavirus spreads easily in Romania due to the lack of measures to prevent the spread, the positivity rate of the tests remaining around 30%, and if more daily tests are carried out, it is very possible that the number of new cases will continue to increase , without taking into account the introduction of any preventive measures.
The coronavirus is causing a lot of infections, including in many other European countries during this period, and this is because in most of Europe the measures to prevent the spread, i.e. wearing a mask in closed spaces, have been lifted, but things should change in the next period in several areas on the continent.
