The prefect of the capital, Gheorghe Cojanu, mentioned on October 13, when there was controversy related to the different reports, that the measures in Bucharest will be taken only after the rate of 3.4 per thousand.
We will not take in 3.05 but we will expect 3.4, something like that, taking into account the real population ”, Cojanu said.
According to the latest decisions by the authorities, in areas where the incidence exceeds 3 per thousand, the use of a mask is mandatory in all open spaces.
The activity of theaters, cinemas and restaurants would stop when the incidence exceeds 3 per thousand.
Reaching the 3% threshold could also affect education.

He has become used to waiting impatiently for daily reports of Covid-19 cases. I tell you that the contagion rate in Bucharest reached 2.75 cases per thousand inhabitants on Saturday. It is a little lower than in the last two days, but still very close to the threshold of three per thousand inhabitants, from which we expect additional restrictions.
Closer to this index are the Alba and Vâlcea regions, which have a rate of 2.8 cases per thousand inhabitants. There is also an infection rate of more than 2 in Bacău, Cluj, Harghita and Sălaj counties.

Useless treatments? Two of the drugs in Romania’s COVID-19 treatment regimen have no benefit, but several side effects
If at first I went blind and was looking for the best solutions for the treatment of SARS COV2 infection, now things have calmed down and they are different. Studies and research have begun to appear showing us which drugs work and which don’t. Two Romanian doctors analyzed the studies carried out recently and I tell them that two of the drugs that are now in the treatment scheme in Romania do not have any benefits, but they do have several side effects. Cristian Băicuş, an internist at the Colentina Hospital, explains that hydroxychloroquine only helps to shorten the disease for a few days and that studies show that mortality increased when this drug was used. On treatment with Lopinavir-Ritonavir, Ionuţ Nistor, a nephrologist at Parhon Hospital in Iaşi, tells you that the studies show no benefit. Both sent the memorandum to the Ministry of Health and the INSP and requested the withdrawal of these drugs from the treatment scheme. I remind you that Didier Raoult, the controversial French physician, has been treating hydroxychloricin since spring.
