COVID-19 Romania has so far confirmed roughly 20,000
\nCovid infections. Out of these around 14 thousand people have been cured and
\nleft hospitals, while 1299 have lost their lives. 114 out of the 3100 Romanian
\nnationals who have been confirmed infected abroad died. Health Minister Nelu
\nTataru on Wednesday said that the COVID-19 test aimed at confirming people’s immunization
\nto the new virus would be carried out on 29 thousand subjects during the months
\nof June, July and August. According to the Romanian official, because a vaccine
\ncannot be made earlier than the first half of the next year, compulsory
\nvaccination cannot be introduced without a test period of two, three seasons. <\/p>\n

US Protest rallies in the USA caused by the
\ndeath of a black man in police custody proved to be quieter on Wednesday after
\nseveral days, which saw acts of vandalism and rioting. The latest events had prompted
\nPresident Donald Trump to threaten to send in the military to quell the growing
\ncivil unrest. In his latest statement however president Trump says he won’t
\nneed to send in troops after the US Defence Secretary has opposed the
\npresident’s threatened use of the Insurrection Act to allow active duty troops
\nto be deployed in American cities. The UN rights chief, Michelle Bachelet
\ninsisted the grievances at the heart of the protests that have erupted in
\nhundreds of US cities needed to be heard and addressed if the country was to
\nmove forward. Solidarity rallies with the anti-racist protests in the USA have
\ncontinued in Europe as well. <\/p>\n

AMENDMENTS Children in Romania are going to be given access to sanitary
\neducation and not to sex education and in order to be able to attend these classes
\nthey need parental approval, the Chamber of Deputies in Bucharest has ruled
\namending a previous law on child protection and their rights. The aforementioned
\namendments have been made upon the proposal of some MPs from the left-wing
\nopposition PSD and from the ruling National Liberal Party. The third ruling
\nparty USR has denounced the initiative, arguing that Romania has the largest
\nnumber of abortions among minors. According to a survey made by Save the
\nChildren NGO, six out of ten teenage moms have never had any access to information about
\nsex education or healthy reproduction. <\/p>\n
