The coronavirus is still one of the concerns that the authorities in Romania have at the moment, and this is due to the fact that new cases of infection are still being registered, and the figures remain quite fluctuating, something that is in line with what they were waiting.
Romania still remains in a very good position from the point of view of the cases of Coronavirus in this period, and this is because we are talking about few new cases, and about few people who are admitted to hospitals in Romania, the situation being totally different from the one since last year.
Even if the BQ.1 and XBB variants cause concern for the WHO and other public health organizations, for now in many countries in Europe the epidemiological situation is much more stable than the one recorded in the same period last year, which is extremely good news good for Romanians.
