“The relaxation period will not be the same for all age groups, as it will not be the same for all locations.

For now, we are not talking about such a thing, “Nelu Tătaru added to Digi 24.

Tolo: Why are Puric and the populists Colectiv and COVID attacking at the same time? “Politicians play a cheap nationalist role, and the risks are far greater to them than a few human lives.”

“I saw many sites today, giving some, including saying, that it would have been my version in which people over 65, whether they were affected by COVID or not, will be taken into space. No.

We believe that in the next period we will see, depending on the saturation of support hospitals, that those who are asymptomatic or with mild symptoms may move to buffer zones, so as not to affect or infect people at home or people older than 65 years. , or some of them may not have homes and then, until a first negative test, they will be taken to certain intermediate spaces, “said the minister, on Digi 24.
