CERTIFICATE A digital Covid certificate has been made available
today in an attempt to ease travel around the European Union. The document
proves the owner has been vaccinated, has recovered or recently tested negative
for the disease. The Special Telecommunication Service in Romania has created a
web platform, which can be accessed at certificate-covid.gov.ro. After filling
in the form, all those interested can download a QR code, which can be printed
or displayed on the mobile phone so that it may be scanned by customs officers.
In another development, new relaxation measures have been adopted in Romania on
July 1st. Fairs and theme parks have been opened while accommodation facilities
and gyms are allowed to function at their full capacity. Cafes and restaurants
can stay open until 2 o’clock in the morning but night clubs and bars can be
accessed only by those vaccinated. Authorities in Romania on Thursday announced
31 new Covid infections out of 26 thousand tests and reported only 5 fatalities
in the past 24 hours. 450 patients are being treated in hospitals and 67 in
intensive care.








UE Slovenia is today taking over the half-yearly rotating EU presidency from
Portugal. This has been Slovenia’s second mandate at the helm of the EU since
2008. The Slovene presidency will attach priority to the recovery and
strengthening the bloc’s resilience and strategic autonomy. During its present
mandate Slovenia and the EU’s main institutions will have the occasion of
leading the Conference over Europe’s Future.








TENNIS Romania’s tennis player, Irina
Begu on Wednesday night made it to the third round of the Wimbledon tournament
after a three-set win against Petra Martic of Croatia. Begu has thus equaled
her performance in 2015 when he qualified for the third round of Wimbledon, the
year’s third grand slam tournament. The Romanian will be up against Iga Swiatek
of Poland on Friday. Another Romanian, Sorana Cirstea has qualified for the
second round after a two-set win against Samantha Murray Sharan of Britain. Cirstea will today play
12th-seeded Victoria Azarenka of Belarus. Begu and Cirstea are Romania’s only
representatives in the singles contest of Wimbledon.








WHO Hans Kluge, the head of WHO Europe, on Thursday announced during a news conference that the ten weeks of decline in
the number of Covid-19 infections in Europe are over. According to the WHO
official, a new wave of infections is expected unless citizens and authorities
are complying with medical discipline rules. Last week the number of new cases
rose by 10% driven by increased mixing, travel, gatherings and easing of social
restrictions, Kluge said. ‘This is taking place in the context of a rapidly
evolving situation. A new variant of concern -the Delta variant and in a region
where despite tremendous efforts by member states, millions remain unvaccinated
the WHO official went on to say.








WEATHER The weather remains unstable in
Romania with an overcast sky, and thunderstorms in some areas in the north,
north-west, center and south-east. Some torrential rains are expected in the
mountains. Temperatures are lower than yesterday but the weather remains hot in
most of the regions with discomfort indexes above normal. The highs of the day
range between 23 and 34 degrees Celsius with a noon reading in Bucharest of 28
degrees. Meteorologists have issued yellow warnings for hot and unstable
weather for almost the entire territory with the exception of some areas in the
country’s west.
