Medical systems are still holding out, but the recommendation should not be forced, Health Minister Nelu Tataru said on Wednesday. He said that medical personnel, who are on the front line for 7 months, must be respected and sanitary standards must also be observed.
Nelu Tataru said in a press release that 612 people are in intensive care, and of those, 199 are on invasive mechanical ventilation.
“We maintain the same upward trend despite those rigors or precautions that we have imposed on ourselves and that must be observed to limit and reduce the number of new cases due to transmission to the community. I come back with the same requests that I have made lately, to respect these restrictions, ”said Nelu Tătaru.
The minister said that cross-evaluations will be conducted at the DSPs and hospitals to see if there is capacity for each to provide medical care. Tataru also said that when it returns to a contagion rate below 1.5 per thousand inhabitants, it will return to the restrictions.
“Medical systems are still resilient, but our recommendation is not to force these medical systems. We reevaluated and relaxed some activities on September 1. Those relaxations took place under certain conditions. But now that 1.5 per thousand inhabitants has been exceeded and some activities have to be restricted. As long as these indicators return respecting the norms below 1.5, we will return ”, added the minister.
Tataru called on the population to respect health standards and respect the doctors who have been on the front line for 7 months.
“In Bucharest and in the 226 covid support units, there is the ability to adapt to the number of cases directed to hospitals. These are the capabilities that must be respected. The medical staff is the same as 7 months ago. It is the same one that received 200 cases a day and that receives 3000 cases a day. We have a message for the medical staff, who although tired, are still there and provide medical care. At the same time, we have a message for the population: let’s respect those rules, ”Nelu Tătaru also said.
On Wednesday, an all-time record was set in Romania in terms of the COVID-19 epidemic. In the last 24 hours, 2,958 cases were diagnosed and 82 people died. One of the people who died in the last 24 hours is a boy between the ages of 10 and 19.
