Mayor General Nicușor Dan declared, on Monday, after a meeting with Prime Minister Florin Cîțu and the mayors of sectors, that they are trying, “as far as possible”, to avoid the application of a “Bucharest quarantine” measure.
Dan also specified that, in his opinion, the population still has to endure about two more months of restrictions due to Covid-19, because large quantities of vaccines will arrive in Romania in April.
“We are practically in the same situation since November, December. The same measures since then, except for the opening of the school, are in force at this time. Of course, it is also a fatigue of the population after a year of restrictions. It’s about being responsible and having a good time. So, practically, we have two more months left, because there are a lot of vaccines that will arrive in Romania in April and May. So we have to endure this part of Monday, March and April, until several vaccines arrive. “said the mayor of the Capital.
Regarding the closure of schools, the mayor of the capital said that everything depends on the normative acts that will be issued by the national authorities, not the local ones.
“Everything that means the closure of schools, the closure of economic activities, such as shopping centers, are mandatory measures that follow some normative acts, which are issued by the national authorities. As local authorities, we can only comply. What I can tell you is that in this discussion between the Prime Minister and the mayors of Bucharest, we tried to find those effective measures that would avoid the quarantine of Bucharest. ” – Nicusor Dan also said.
