“The relationship between the number of diagnosed cases and the number of cases that actually exist is generally 1 to 10. If we look at the number of cases in Romania, we have, say, 200,000 or more, probably the number of Romanian citizens that have been infected so far is close to 2 million. But these are inapparent, asymptomatic forms, “said Alexandru Rafila, from Realitatea Plus.

The doctor specified that in the next month we will reach 10% of the population that has gone through the disease.

“It is the same with the flu. The number of diagnosed cases of influenza is much lower than the number of actual cases of influenza and this is established through seroprevalence studies, that is, studies that show how many people have antibodies in the total population, that is that is, those who have been through the disease. It was also conducted in Romania, the National Institute of Public Health is finalizing such a study in the next period and we will discover the results of this study. My opinion is that we are slowly approaching this proportion of 10% of the population. Probably in the next month we will reach 10% of the population that has suffered the disease “, announced the representative of Romania in the World Health Organization.
