Klaus Iohannis provided perhaps the biggest news of the year: Authorities no longer expect an increase in the number of cases of people infected with SARS-Cov-2. “We do not expect an increase in cases”, was the harsh response of Klaus Iohannis when asked about the situation of COVID cases in the country.

In addition, the President of Romania announced that in early 2021 we will have one or two vaccines on the Romanian market.

“At the moment we know with certainty that there are several types of vaccines, in an advanced phase of testing / approval. It is possible that at the beginning of the year we will have several types of functional vaccine. Since the beginning of the year, it is possible to have the first tranches of two types of vaccines in Romania, enough to vaccinate front-line personnel and vulnerable people, ”said the president.

Klaus Iohannis: Mass vaccination begins in the spring

He added that “mass vaccination may be possible sometime in the spring, but we have to wait a bit to get the exact description of each vaccine. Doctors decide which vaccine to receive to get the best effect. In our country, the vaccination campaign will be a success ”.

Although there are doubts and criticisms in the public space, Iohannis said: “I assure you that the vaccines that are being produced now for this campaign are effective and safe. Vaccination is not mandatory, but through the results of the first few months, almost everyone will be convinced of the safety of the vaccine. That way we will end the pandemic. “

“Regarding quarantine, let me tell you that there is no discrimination for voters, nor for cities or towns that are in quarantine. Whether you live in a low incidence city or if you live in a quarantined city, everyone has the same right to vote, you have exactly the same chances. The polling stations will be prepared everywhere, all the conditions will be respected so that the voting takes place with maximum security and that is why I invite Romanians to go to the polls in large numbers, ”said Iohannis.
