Bucharest has the highest number of illnesses since the beginning of the pandemic. 353 people learned that they suffer from Covid-19 in the last 24 hours, and at the national level, 1,269 tests of the more than 22,000 processed were positive.
Specialists speak of a community transmission of the virus and are preparing to face the challenge of the cold season, when the seasonal flu will appear. At this time, ways to simplify the diagnosis are being discussed, since the symptoms are similar.
Specialists from the World Health Organization have reported that the circulation of the influenza virus during this period is five hundred times less.
Alexandru Rafila, WHO representative: “The global influenza virus surveillance system coordinated by WHO has detected a very low circulation of influenza viruses. Only 0.01% of the tests performed were shown, compared to a multi-year average that ranges from 5 and 7%. This is probably because many countries have adopted measures to limit the transmission of the new coronavirus, and these measures have also had an impact on the transmission of influenza. “
Infectious doctors are now questioning the diagnosis of people who will be in infectious disease departments with the two viruses, given that the symptoms are similar. Therefore, several pharmaceutical companies are working to develop a test that shows what type of virus patients were infected with.
The Americans created such a test.
Alexandru Rafila: “Such a test has been authorized in the United States and we hope that it will be accessible in EU countries.”
Most of the cases are in Bucharest, which in the last 24 hours registered the highest number of positive results: three hundred and fifty-two.
I remain on the list of counties with many Suceava, Brasov and Prahova cases. 1,269 people learned that they had been infected with the new virus in the last 24 hours and 38 patients lost their lives.
Nelu Tătaru Minister of Health: “The real outcome of the pandemic is played out where we have activities to return to normality. At this moment we see the parks and playgrounds quite crowded, we also see grandparents there, we see the lack of masks, we see the lack of disinfectant ”.
There are also counties that have not reported any cases from yesterday to today such as Alba and Covosana, and in Caras Severn only one patient was diagnosed with COVID-19 among those analyzed.
Satu Mare, Sălaj and Tulcea are on the list of the few diagnosed cases with less than two infected per thousand inhabitants.
