The
\nTechnical-Scientific Group consulted by the government in Bucharest has
\nproposed the postponement of the fourth stage of relaxation measures, which was
\nsupposed to be implemented as of July 1st. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
The
\nproposal came against the background of an alarming rise in the Covid
\ninfections in the past days as many Romanians fail to observe the prevention
\nrules. The number of daily infections continue to be higher than the number of patients
\ncured, which means that hospitals in Romania are overcrowded.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
The number
\nof patients needing intensive care is also on the rise and so is the death
\ntoll. In an interview to a TV channel, Romania’s Health Minister Nelu Tataru
\nhas referred to an unfavourable evolution in the past two weeks and for this
\nreason the introduction of the new relaxation measures has been postponed at
\nleast at the level of the Technical-Scientific Group. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Nelu T\u0103taru: We
\nhave seen an increase in the number of infections in the past two weeks. In
\nthese two weeks we have seen a higher number of patients needing intensive care
\nand also an increase in the number of deaths. So the Technical Group experts
\nhave recommended that the new relaxation measures planned for July 1st
\nbe postponed. We are presently handling an increased number of infections and
\nat the level of this group it has been decided to postpone this fourth
\nrelaxation stage. We are monitoring the situation daily, every week and every
\nother week and if it improves we will start considering another series of
\nrelaxation measures. And in case of an intense community contagion, we are
\nconsidering imposing restrictions in certain locations to isolate outbreaks and
\nimpose quarantine measures. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
A
\nfinal decision on the issue is expected from the Executive in Bucharest on
\nWednesday. The government is also expected to convene on Wednesday for a new
\nplan of measures against the spreading of the Covid pandemic. Prime Minister
\nLudovic Orban, who said the latest developments impose caution, has summoned
\nthe ministers and other high officials from the Interior, Health Ministers as
\nwell as from the police and other state institutions with control attributions.

In
\nanother development, the National Committee for Emergency Situations has
\nalready decided that event organisers who do not comply with prevention regulations
\nhave their license suspended. In their turn epidemiologists have pointed out that
\nunless prevention measures are observed the number of cases can continue to
\nrise. Romania has so far confirmed over 26,500 Covid infections. Suceava in
\nnorth-eastern Romania ranks first in terms of the number of cases followed by
\nBucharest and Brasov, in the center of the country. Roughly 19 thousand people
\nhave been declared cured and allowed to leave hospitals whereas over 16 hundred
\npeople have died. <\/p>\n
