Prime Minister Ludovic Orban said on Saturday that the protests against the use of a protective mask were a “completely meaningless” gesture, given that it has been scientifically proven that the sanitary mask prevents the spread of the new coronavirus, reports Agerpres.
Asked what he will send to the protesters on Saturday in the University Square, the prime minister said that this means of protection is preferable to illness, which may even require an oxygen mask.
“Wear a mask if you don’t want to get sick. It’s better to wear a mask than end up needing an oxygen mask or – God forbid! – go into mechanical ventilation. It’s so much easier to wear a mask,” he said. said the prime minister.
At the same time, when asked why participants who do not respect distance rules are not penalized, the prime minister specified that the law will be applied, but also admitted that such interventions were avoided.
“I am convinced that those who do not respect the rules will be fined in accordance with the law. (…) We avoided having interventions, especially because there were several demonstrations that were not large and did not have a topic – this seems to me an absurd topic, to test against the mask. It really looks like something to me … “You don’t get sick. It’s like a protest against public health, including a protest against your own health. I mean, it seems like a completely meaningless gesture. (…) What should I do? … No, the law will apply ”, specified the prime minister, at the end of a visit to DSP Bucharest.
Several hundred people participate on Saturday, in the University Square, in a protest against the masks, chanting “Freedom”.
