Coronavirus
\nRomania.<\/strong> Fewer coronavirus cases in Romania, as 19 were reported over the last
\n24 hours, the authorities have announced. The number of confirmed cases has
\nexceeded 19,500 and the death toll stands at 1,288. 13,500 people have recovered.
\nAlmost 3,100 Romanian nationals living abroad have been infected, of whom 106 have
\ndied. In the meantime, the activity in hospitals around Romania is gradually
\ncoming back to normal. Several hospitals that have so far only treated Covid
\ninfections are gradually returning to the activities they carried out before
\nthe pandemic. Restrictions were further eased on Monday, when outdoor cafes and
\nbars, as well as beaches reopened. Social distancing remains in effect but
\nRomanians are now allowed to travel from one city to another without restrictions.
\nShopping centres, schools, kindergartens and playground areas remain closed,
\nwhile flights to and from some EU and non-EU destinations are still cancelled.<\/p>\n

Coronavirus world.<\/strong>
\nCoronavirus cases pass 6.4 million globally and more than 378,000 have died.
\nThe United States tops 1.8 million cases, while its death toll passes 107,000.
\nThe World Health Organisation has warned that the pandemic is yet to reach its
\npeak in Central and South America. This comes as countries around the world are
\neasing restrictions. In Japan, the Imperial Palace gardens have reopened their
\ndoors to visitors after being closed for two months, but the country is still
\nclosed to tourists from over 110 countries. In Italy, president Sergio
\nMattarella travelled to the Lombardy region, the first coronavirus hotbed in
\nItaly and the area worst hit by the pandemic. On Wednesday, Italy is lifting
\nrestrictions on travel between its 20 regions following a drop in the number of
\nnew cases and deaths. On Monday, the Spanish authorities said no new death had
\nbeen reported in the last 24 hours for the first time in three months. They
\nurged, however, caution, warning that events attended by a large number of
\npeople are not permitted. <\/p>\n

School.<\/strong> Final year secondary and high school pupils
\nreturned to school in Romania on Tuesday after more than two months of online teaching.
\nThey will be undergoing special classes until the 12th June to
\nprepare for their respective final year examinations. Special measures have
\nbeen implemented in schools to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus and pupils
\nmust wear face masks for the duration of classes, which last two or three hours.
\nFinal eighth-year secondary school pupils can register for the national
\nexamination until 5th June, with the exam beginning on 15th
\nJune. Another exam session has been scheduled for 29th June, for
\nthose who were unable to take the exam earlier on health grounds. A special
\nbaccalaureate exam session is also expected to be scheduled for the same
\nreasons. Pupils in their final year of high school can register for their
\nbaccalaureate exam beginning on Wednesday, with the first exam being scheduled for
\n22nd June. <\/p>\n

Repatriation.
\n<\/strong>The Foreign Ministry in Bucharest said it facilitated the repatriation of 260
\nRomanian nationals on Monday, 70 from Turkey and 190 from the UK. Earlier, the
\nministry also helped 620 Romanian citizens stranded in The Netherlands, France
\nand Spain return to Romania. The move comes in line with other measures aimed
\nat facilitating the return of the Romanian nationals stranded abroad as a
\nresult of air travel restrictions imposed following the coronavirus outbreak. The
\nministry said the Romanian nationals who have been repatriated were unable to
\nprolong their stay in the aforementioned countries for various reasons. The Romanian
\nair carrier TAROM has cancelled regular flights to and from European
\ndestinations such as Italy, Spain, the UK, France, Germany and Belgium until
\nmid-July.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n
\n
\n <\/p>\n

Cancellation.<\/strong>
\nThree major music festivals scheduled for this summer, Untold, Neversea and
\nElectric Castle, have been cancelled due to the coronavirus restrictions.
\nAccording to organisers, the decision reflects the current uncertainty in the
\nevent industry, the strict conditions in which people are able to work together
\nand a bill banning events attracting more than 1,000 people until 31st
\nAugust this year. The people who have already bought their tickets for these
\nevents can use them next year or ask for a refund. The 2020 edition of the
\nGolden Stag pop music festival has also been cancelled, which was due in Brasov
\nbetween 20th and 23rd August. First held in 1968, this
\nhas become the biggest international music festival in Romania.<\/p>\n
