Bucharest enters the red stage, after for the first time since the start of the health crisis the rate of 3 COVID-19 diseases per thousand inhabitants was exceeded.
This means that schools, restaurants, theaters and cinemas will be closed and residents will be forced to wear masks everywhere, both indoors and outdoors.
Throughout the country yesterday, until today, another 3,920 Romanians have fallen ill, and 749 are in intensive care.
In the red dash, no child will go to school or kindergarten. Lessons will be conducted exclusively online. It is, therefore, the situation of the Capital, after today 770 new cases of disease were registered. This means that the incidence rate reached 3.02 cases per thousand inhabitants.
Ludovic Orban, Prime Minister of Romania: “The interior restaurants will also be closed.”
For a time, theaters and cinemas, which had limited audience performances anyway, will cease to function. Until now, when the incidence rate was higher than 1.5 per thousand inhabitants, the actors could go on stage in front of a half-full room.
Shopping centers and gyms will remain open.
Also in the red stage, the inhabitants of the Capital will be forced to wear a protective mask everywhere. This decision has already been made in several counties.
In Red Stage, we will be asked to wear a face mask wherever we are, even if we are walking in the park or alone on the sidewalk. And it is very important to do this, because the red scenario implies community transmission. That is, we do not know if a person carrying Sars-CoV-2 passed through the same place just before us. If you coughed, sneezed, or even talked, the virus could stay in the air.
The measures that the authorities can take in the red scenario are foreseen in the government’s decision on alertness. They will be implemented only after the Public Health Directorate presents the official data to the emergency committee.
On the other hand, Adrian Sterinu Cercel, director of the Matei Balş Infectious Diseases Hospital and a newcomer to the PSD race for parliament, presented a surprising proposal on Sunday to curb the spread of the disease.
He said that the elderly must be isolated to be protected and that if we do not have a place to isolate ourselves to protect our grandparents, we must take another home.
