The epidemiological situation in Romania is critical

In Romania, the situation has not been as critical as now since the beginning of the pandemic. Only a third of the country’s population has been vaccinated so far, which is very poor amid the existence of the Delta variant of coronavirus. In one day, 15,000 new cases of infection were confirmed and 252 people died due to complications of the disease. Hospitals are full. Also this week, it could be announced that Romania is asking for the help of other EU member states, as there are not enough doctors and nurses./opopescu
