Coronavirus
\nRomania.<\/strong> Romania has around 20,000 confirmed coronavirus cases. Some 14,000
\npeople have recovered and 1,305 have died. Among the Romanians living abroad,
\nthere are 3,100 cases and 114 deaths, mostly in the UK, Italy, and France. Health
\nMinister Nelu Tataru on Wednesday said that the test aimed at determining the
\nlevel of immunisation to the virus would be carried out on 29,000 subjects
\nduring the months of June, July and August. According to the minister, while a
\nvaccine may potentially become available mid next year, it would be difficult
\nto introduce compulsory vaccination without a test period of two or three
\nseasons.<\/p>\n

Coronavirus
\nworld.<\/strong> Global coronavirus infections pass 6.6 million. Some 3.2 million people have
\nrecovered and 388,000 have died, according to worldometers.info. Brazil is
\nthe fourth worst hit country in the world, with the highest death toll after
\nthe United States, the UK and Italy. The pandemic is in fact growing in Latin
\nAmerica, with some 1.2 million infections and over 56,000 deaths. In Europe, the Spanish
\nParliament extended the state of emergency for the 6th time, until
\n21st June. On Thursday, Austria will lift checks on its land borders
\nwith the exception of the Italian border. Earlier, Germany also announced plans
\nto lift the travel ban to and from EU countries beginning on 15th
\nJune as long as the respective countries don’t have in place a ban of their
\nown. China will allow airlines so far restricted to operate on its
\nterritory to partly resume services, while also easing travel restrictions.
\nThis comes as Washington has threatened to suspend all flights operated by
\nChinese airlines to and from the United States beginning on 16th
\nJune. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Government. <\/strong>The government met on Thursday in
\nBucharest to discus new measures for economic recovery and preserving jobs. The
\nagenda featured a programme to support large companies by
\nguaranteeing commercial loans. Prime Minister Ludovic Orban said he would use
\nall the instruments available to support investments, including through the
\ncreation of a fund of capitalised investments drawing on budget sources or
\nEuropean funds, if possible. Florin Citu said during the meeting that Romania
\nwould have to submit a 393 million euro guarantee to be able to attract 5
\nbillion euros as part of the European Union’s SURE programme to encourage
\nemployment. This is the maximum amount Romania can attract under this programme
\nand which Bucharest has communicated to Brussels, Citu also said. <\/p>\n

Recession.<\/strong> The European Central Bank expects the eurozone to suffer deep
\nrecession this year because of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, with losses
\nto be only partly recovered next year. The eurozone GDP is expected to shrink
\nby 8.7% this year and go up by 5.2% next year and 3.3% in 2022, according to
\nthe president of the European Central Bank Christine Lagarde, who warned that
\nthe risks may compromise these estimates. The Bank’s forecast also indicates a
\neurozone inflation rate of 0.3% this year compared with the previous forecast
\nof 1.1%, and of 0.8% next year and 1.3% in 2022. The European Commission’s
\nspring forecast published on 6th May expected the eurozone to shrink
\nby a record 7.7% this year before seeing a 6.3% growth next year. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


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

Festival.
\n<\/strong>Postponed because of the coronavirus restrictions, the 19th edition
\nof the Transylvania Film Festival will now take place between 31st
\nJuly and 9th August. The line-up will feature many outdoor
\nscreenings, a holiday atmosphere and a programme adapted to the current
\ncontext. The outdoor screenings will be held in dedicated areas and chairs will
\nbe placed at a distance from each other. Spectators will be screened when
\nentering the venues. The programme of indoor screenings will be published after
\nthe government makes public its new guidelines with respect to cinemas. Organisers
\nare hoping that Romania will follow the example of most European countries to
\nallow cinemas to reopen provided they operate at no more than 50% capacity. (CM)<\/p>\n
