The death toll passed&#13;<br \/>\n3,700 and 519 patients are in intensive care. Health minister Nelu Tataru says&#13;<br \/>\nthe European Union has reserved a first batch of 30 million doses of a&#13;<br \/>\npotential vaccine, of which Romania is allocated 4%, accounting for 1.3&#13;<br \/>\nmillion, based on number of inhabitants.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold>Schools. <\/strong>The measures regulating the&#13;<br \/>\neducational activity in the new school year have been made public, aiming at&#13;<br \/>\nreducing the risk of infection with Covid-19. There are three scenarios each&#13;<br \/>\nschool will be able to put into practice depending on the infection rate&#13;<br \/>\nrevised every 14 days. The ministerial order detailing the new measures also&#13;<br \/>\nstipulates that teachers and pupils have to wear facemasks in school. If one&#13;<br \/>\ncoronavirus case is found in a class, the activity of the respective class will&#13;<br \/>\nbe suspended for 14 days. If three separate cases are confirmed in a school,&#13;<br \/>\nthen the whole school is to close for 14 days. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold>Trip.<\/strong> Romanian foreign minister&#13;<br \/>\nBogdan Aurescu is making an official trip to Israel and Palestine on Wednesday&#13;<br \/>\nand Thursday.

Talks are focusing on&#13;<br \/>\nways to develop and expand bilateral strategic ties with emphasis on the&#13;<br \/>\npolitical, economic and security areas. The latest developments in the region&#13;<br \/>\nwill also be discussed, in particular those concerned with the Middle East&#13;<br \/>\npeace process. The Romanian minister&#8217;s trip to Palestine features talks with&#13;<br \/>\nthe minister of foreign and expatriates affairs Riad Malki and prime minister&#13;<br \/>\nMohammad Shtayyeh. Talks will look mainly at ways to develop and diversify&#13;<br \/>\nRomanian-Palestinian relations and means to consolidate collaboration. In the&#13;<br \/>\nlast few months I have had open and meaningful dialogue with both my Israeli&#13;<br \/>\ncounterpart Gabriel Ashkenazi and my Palestinian counterpart Riad Malki, in&#13;<br \/>\nkeeping with the traditional position of Romania, which nurtures friendly and&#13;<br \/>\ntrusted relations with both sides, minister Bogdan Aurescu said in a&#13;<br \/>\nstatement. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold>Drugs.<\/strong> Romania&#8217;s organised crime prosecutors&#13;<br \/>\nand the police on Tuesday night announced the largest drug seizure in their history.&#13;<br \/>\nAt the end of August, they found 1.5 tonnes of hashish and 751 kg of captagon, a stimulant sometimes also referred&#13;<br \/>\nto as the drug of Jihad, in the Romanian port of Constanta. The market value&#13;<br \/>\nof the seizure is estimated at over 60 million euros. A ship was identified&#13;<br \/>\ncarrying two containers with 40 tonnes of non-food products shipped from&#13;<br \/>\nLatakia, in Syria, and which transited Turkey on its way to Constanta. A number&#13;<br \/>\nof persons are being investigated, both Romanian and foreign nations, to&#13;<br \/>\nestablish their involvement in organising this drug shipment. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold>US Open. <\/strong>Romania&#8217;s Sorana Cirstea&#13;<br \/>\nhas reached the second round at the US Open, the first Grand Slam tennis&#13;<br \/>\ntournament held since the start of the coronavirus outbreak.
