Hydrologists have also warned against possible flooding along 11 rivers until Monday night. Thousands of households were flooded or left without electricity following recent heavy rainfalls in Romania. According to the Inspectorate General for Emergency Situations, 49 towns and villages and the capital city were affected, with firefighters moving in to pump out the water in several households, over 100 yards and scores of streets in Bucharest alone. The wind caused several trees to fall over parked vehicles, and road traffic was also disrupted.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>COVID-19<\/strong> The number of new Covid-19 cases&#13;<br \/>\nin Romania&#13;<br \/>\ncontinues to drop, with 63 new infection cases reported on Saturday, and 164 patients&#13;<br \/>\nin intensive care. Hospitals are gradually resuming their regular activity and,&#13;<br \/>\naccording to some managers, they are better prepared for a possible surge in&#13;<br \/>\ncases. Meanwhile, experts warn against the risk of a 4th wave of the&#13;<br \/>\ncoronavirus pandemic in Romania. The health minister Ioana Mih\u0103il\u0103 said the Indian&#13;<br \/>\nstrain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus may come to prevail in Romania as well, which is&#13;<br \/>\nwhy it is all the more important that as many people be immunised. According to Romania&#8217;s representative in the World Health&#13;<br \/>\nOrganisation Alexandru Rafila, with the current vaccination trend, only 7&#13;<br \/>\nmillion people at most will have been immunized by autumn, which is below the&#13;<br \/>\nauthorities&#8217; target. Some 25,500 people received the vaccine in the past 24&#13;<br \/>\nhours. So far over 8.7 million Covid-19 vaccine doses have been administered in&#13;<br \/>\nRomania, with nearly 4.35 million people having received both doses of vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>DEFICIT<\/strong> The EUs Economic and Financial Council extended to 2024 the deadline for Romania to put an end to the excessive deficit situation. The Council said that an extension to the original deadline for Romania to correct its public deficit would be important in order not to compromise the economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic. The recommendation also says that, in order to meet the new deadline, Romania would need to achieve a general government deficit target of 6.2% of GDP next year, 4.4% of GDP in 2023, and 2.9% of GDP in 2024. Romania is expected to present the European Council with a report on its strategy regarding these targets by 15 October, the Romanian Finance Ministry announced.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>ACCIDENT<\/strong> At least 3 workers, one of them from Romania, died when a school under construction partly collapsed in Antwerp, Belgium, AFP reports. Nine others were injured in the incident on Friday afternoon.

Aurescu had a meeting on Saturday with the organisations new secretary general, Mathias Cormann, on the sidelines of the Diplomatic Forum in Antalya (Turkey). On the same occasion, the Romanian diplomat discussed the Black Sea security situation with his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>IRAN<\/strong> Hardliner Seyyed Ebrahim Rais al-Sadati won Fridays presidential election in Iran from the first round, with over 62% of the votes, according to preliminary results made public on Saturday.
