Emergency meeting with the Government on the situation of the pandemic. Turcan: We will not restrict night traffic throughout the country.

Asked if the restriction of night traffic will be discussed and if it is one of the options, the deputy prime minister said that “we will not reach the restriction of night traffic throughout the country and in all localities.” He added that only where there is an increase in the number of infections are such actions considered.

“Yes it is. The prime minister has returned from an official visit to Israel and is now in Victoria Palace, most likely with my colleagues, so that he can discuss the measures that are being carried out, especially in localities where the number of infections per thousand inhabitants is higher than 3 “. said Raluca Turcan, when asked on B1 TV about the meeting in the Government.

He added that it is not possible to try to restrict night traffic at the national level, but only in localities and areas where there is a high rate of infections.

“There is this type of proposal from county committees for emergency situations, but again the measures are judged on a case-by-case basis. We will not restrict night traffic throughout the country and in all localities. Where we have an increase in the number of infections they are measures that are taken into account. But, in general, the restriction of traffic is already a final step in the restriction and compliance measures that we are pursuing. As it represents a final stage and the impact on economic activities, “added Turcan.

The deputy prime minister added that it is important for the government and NLP that the economy works.

“For us it is important that the economy works. As long as the economy works, the state budget can cover a part of the expenses of the large systems, to ensure the part of co-financing, even for European funds ”, concluded Turcan.
