\nallowed at performances, concerts, public and private festivals and other
\noutdoor cultural events, but more people are allowed if everyone is fully vaccinated
\nand wears face masks. Further restrictions have been eased with respect to
\nprivate events, bars, nightclubs and tourist facilities. As the number of new
\ninfections is low in Romania, preparations are being made in hospitals to
\nreopen fully to non-Covid patients. 68 new cases from 28,000 tests were
\nreported on Thursday, as well as 145 fatalities, of which 138 occurred at an
\nearlier date but were only now recorded by public health directorates from
\naround the country at the request of the health ministry, following further
\nchecks. More than 33,700 people diagnosed with Covid-19 have died in Romania since
\nthe start of the outbreak. 611 Covid patients are currently receiving hospital
