The Government
\nin Bucharest this week voted for an extension of the state of alert in Romania
\nby another 30 days. Maintaining the state of alert, despite the improving epidemiological
\ncontext, will allow the authorities to quickly intervene if things take a
\ndifferent turn. Football fans also received a piece of good news: the match
\nhosted by Romania in the round of 16 of EURO 2020 will be held with 50% crowd
\nattendance. Additionally, open-air events and election rallies will be allowed
\nwith a maximum attendance of 1,000 people. Moreover, the number of people
\nallowed to attend private events has also been increased to 200 for restaurants
\nwith indoor seating, while observing the minimum 2-meter distance between
\npeople. <\/p>\n

\nup to a 1,000 people can now attend cultural, artistic and entertainment events
\nin open areas, provided people can prove they are vaccinated, they have the
\ndisease or are COVID-free. The new limit can be exceeded for participants who
\nalso provide similar certificates. The number of people attending indoor events
\nhas also increased from 50% to 70% capacity, allowing for up to 100% capacity
\nfor people who also provide proof of vaccination or that they had the disease.

\nand gambling outlets remain open between 5 in the morning and midnight, with 50%
