Out of&#13;<br \/>\nthese, 700 are in ICUs. Most of the cases have been reported in capital city&#13;<br \/>\nBucharest, and in Cluj, western Romania. 7.6 million people have been fully&#13;<br \/>\nvaccinated in Romania so far. People coming to Romania from outside the&#13;<br \/>\nEuropean Union or from other states in the red tier who are unvaccinated will&#13;<br \/>\nhave to stay in quarantine for 10 days even if they have a negative PCR test. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>OMICRON Britain has reported the&#13;<br \/>\nfirst death of a patient who was suffering from the Omicron variant.&#13;<br \/>\nAuthorities in London have so far reported over 3 thousand infections with the&#13;<br \/>\nnew variant and forecast that the total number of infections is going to reach&#13;<br \/>\none million. The Omicron variant has caused worldwide concern and has already&#13;<br \/>\nbeen identified in 63 countries. In another development, the WHO has estimated&#13;<br \/>\nthe real tally of the Covid-19 could be three times higher than that announced.&#13;<br \/>\nThe information provided by the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine shows 270&#13;<br \/>\nmillion infections and 5.3 million deaths. The USA has been most affected with&#13;<br \/>\nroughly 50 million cases and 800 thousand fatalities. The Delta variant is the&#13;<br \/>\nmost widespread variant in the USA, with 99% infections. <\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>TRANSDNISTER The Romanian foreign ministry said Romania does not&#13;<br \/>\nrecognise the legitimacy of Sunday&#8217;s elections in the breakaway pro-Russian&#13;<br \/>\nregion of Transdniester in the east of the majority Romanian-speaking Republic&#13;<br \/>\nof Moldova. In a statement, it also reiterated its support for a comprehensive,&#13;<br \/>\npeaceful and sustainable solution of the conflict in keeping with international&#13;<br \/>\nlaw, respect for Moldova&#8217;s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its&#13;<br \/>\ninternationally recognised borders and without affecting its European path. The&#13;<br \/>\nMoldovan authorities also described the elections in Transdniester illegal.&#13;<br \/>\nTransdniester de facto broke away from Moldova in 1992 following an armed&#13;<br \/>\nconflict in which hundreds of people were killed and which only ended with the&#13;<br \/>\nintervention of the Russian troops on the side of the separatists. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>SWIMMING Romania will bring five&#13;<br \/>\nswimmers to the 25 m competition in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates, taking&#13;<br \/>\nplace over December 16th and 21st. Among them are Robert&#13;<br \/>\nGlin\u0163\u0103 and David Popovici. Also on the Romanian team are George-Alexandru&#13;<br \/>\nStoica-Constantin, Alexandra Dobrin, and Bianca Costea. We recall that the&#13;<br \/>\nRomanian team&#8217;s performance in the 25 m competition in Kazan, Russia, in&#13;<br \/>\nNovember, earned them three medals. The gold went to David Popovici for 200 m&#13;<br \/>\nfreestyle, and a silver and a bronze went to Robert Glin\u0163\u0103 for the 100 m and 50&#13;<br \/>\nm events. Popovici at that point got the first gold medal for Romania in the&#13;<br \/>\nhistory of 25 m events, after 4 silver and 8 bronze medals. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>(bill)<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click here for a roundup of domestic and international news<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":113,"featured_media":105194,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[35374,36457,32323,35334],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-105566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsflash","tag-covid-19","tag-popovici","tag-transdniester","tag-who"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
