Authorities have warned residents that they can only avoid endangering their lives and those of those around them by following prescribed health precautions: wearing a mask to cover your nose and mouth, keeping your distance, avoiding crowds, touching surfaces touched by others and disinfect themselves after touching any suspected infected object. The public alert was also used by disaster management in other Romanian settlements.
