So we must not rush, we must not give messages that they could possibly induce panic in the population, we must be very clear in our statements (…), but if we manage to exceed the 6 per thousand index, certainly, DSU, with all the factors involved, we will make a decision, but not only based on at this index, ”Bode stated at Digi24.

On Sunday, after the CMBSU meeting, the prefect of the Capital, Alin Stoica, said that, in the context in which the contagion rate in the Capital has increased a lot, on Monday he will have a meeting with representatives of DSP to decide if it is necessary to take additional measures.
“Since the rate has increased a lot, I will have a meeting with DSP tomorrow to see what action should be taken if the infection rate reaches 6.
If we get to 6, it will not be possible to take classes for the first time. It is possible to measure the zonal quarantine in Bucharest and surrounding areas. Obviously, the trip must be made under certain conditions with the declaration under the own responsibility.
We are going to talk to specialists about this scenario. We will not take action just for the sake of it, ”said Prefect Alin Stoica.
On Monday, in the Government, a meeting will take place in which the quarantine of the Capital will be discussed,
Romania’s quarantine plan, on the table of Prime Minister Florin Cîțu
In the context in which the contagion rate with the new coronavirus has increased significantly in recent days, the authorities are considering a new total quarantine. However, Prime Minister Florin Cîțu said on Monday that he did not want to get to this point because the economy would suffer greatly.
“Personally, you remember last year that we wanted to keep the economy open and that is what I still want. Only with a functioning economy can we cover the costs of this pandemic. The opinions coming from the Ministry of Health are important and we will take them into account, but a decision will be made after discussing with all the factors involved.
I asked to have a meeting with the association of provincial councils, municipalities, with prefects to find solutions to avoid quarantine.
We are in a better situation than last year because we will no longer have outbreaks of infections in hospitals, in nursing homes.
Regarding quarantine, there are important proposals that we have to take into account, but there are also other opinions ”, said Florin Cîțu.
