The representative of Romania in the World Health Organization and the president of the Romanian Society for Microbiology, Professor Alexandru Rafila, observed a key detail of the epidemic in our country and drew some conclusions on this basis.
“They are similar figures to last week. If you look, even the days coincide. Yesterday’s record, of more than 1,700 cases, is a replica of the record set last week, exactly the same day. The next two days were more than 1,600 cases and let’s see tomorrow what the report will show us.
It is clear that there was the impact of the resumption of activity in early September, there was an increase of about 20% of the no. cases compared to the previous period. Now we are waiting to see what will happen, if there will be an impact in terms of school opening, ”said the epidemiology expert to Digi 24.
The wave doesn’t matter, evolution matters
“It just came to our knowledge then. The countries of the European Union, in Western Europe, are certainly in the second wave, there are significant increases in the number of cases, after a rather long hiatus during the summer. The difference with us is related to the fact that during the summer we still had quite a few cases, many more than them in the same period. Of course, some come up with the theory of the first wave that continues, it is not a problem related to the number of the wave ”, explained Rafila.
Therefore, it is about “the study of an evolution, and in our country, since June 1, there has been an evolution in constant evolution that, unfortunately, has not stopped even now.” “It remains to be seen what the future holds. I also await with professional interest, but also with concern, the results of the next period, because the opening of schools is a moment that usually leads to increased transmissibility”, also transmitted Professor Alexandru Rafila.
More than 2000 cases in Romania in the future?
Asked about exceeding the historical threshold of 2,000 cases next week, the expert said: “I do not like to make such speculations, the important thing is that there is a reasonable increase.”
