Răzvan Cherecheș, professor in the US and at the Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj, stated that in our country he will be quarantined again, but not in the entire territory, but in certain cities or even counties, where the number of cases of new infections The coronavirus will increase significantly.
“Unfortunately, the measure we have at our disposal is social isolation and my opinion is that we will move to social isolation by regions, counties, cities, where the positivity rate is high.
We will get to a confinement again, I have no doubt here, because the appropriate measures are not yet taken, masks are not used in public spaces, the transmission rate increases, the temperatures drop, which makes people spend more a lot time inside and that’s why we have the seasonality of the flu.
The flu is not spread because it is colder, such as the coronavirus, but because people spend more time indoors without masks.
From the perspective of a public health expert, the best measure is confinement, ”said the expert, on Digi 24.
“We have 91 infections for every 100,000 people across the country in Melbourne, when they reached 60, they were blocked. We are still relaxed because we have options, not because the infection rate does not require more drastic measures. That is why I say that after the elections we should expect more drastic measures. We have no choice, the infection rate is constantly increasing, “Răzvan Cherecheș also said.
“I would start giving bad fines for not wearing a mask”
The public health expert believes that sanctions and a campaign to persuade the population should complement each other. “We are in exactly the same situation as wearing a seatbelt. If you explain to citizens that wearing a seatbelt saves lives in 50 percent of situations, it will be citizens who wear a seatbelt in a disciplined way, because they understand the risks to which they are exposed.
Others will wear a seatbelt just because they risk getting a ticket. Exactly the same here: we will have citizens who, if you communicate clearly and it is a continuous communication campaign about how to protect yourself, what you can do, they will be responsible, they will wear a mask, they will stay away from others, they will wash and disinfect their hands.
While for others the measures must be clear: good, good, good. But both measures must be taken.
I will tell you what I would do if I were a politician and tried to be elected, but at the same time to protect the population: the day after being elected, I would start giving very bad fines for not wearing a mask. For a week. Scare the population.
So I would say: the situation is under control, as they say even now, although all the numbers say something completely different. And then, and I would start pulling the strings until the December elections and hope the situation does not get worse, “he added.
