Prime Minister Ludovic Orban said late Sunday that teenagers are “infected” by the virus, not infected at school, but in places where they are not supervised by parents, grandparents or teachers, Agerpres reports.

“At school they are not infected, but they are infected in other places. When they are not under the supervision of their parents, grandparents or teachers. And, thank God, there are many times when young people are free, they find themselves … we, in many European countries – these are tests carried out – adolescents are … how to say … are ‘infected’ with the virus, because they do not develop serious forms, the vast majority are asymptomatic, they do not show visible symptoms, “However , they transmit the virus. And the unfortunate thing is that the first people to transmit the virus are parents, grandparents, who can be greatly affected, “Orban told B1 TV.

Asked about the travel ban between 11pm and 5am, the prime minister said the aim was to avoid so-called “parties” at night.

“We not only introduced these restrictions. We even waited a while to see if they worked in other countries. And they seem to work, because during the night, many young people, adolescents and not only, pass (…) They were (night parties – no) in all possible places, I was not convinced from the beginning of the usefulness of these restrictions, until one afternoon, when I returned home at 12 at night, in Dobroeşti, (…) and in two places I saw groups of teenagers sitting in the street, they weren’t even in the park or … they were just sitting together in the street, drinking a beer … No mask, “There, since they were so clustered together, if only one of them was sick, surely they would get sick half of the others. They went home and made their parents, grandparents sick. It’s a major risk factor, “Orban explained.

The prime minister said that the opening of schools depends on the evolution of the pandemic.

“It all depends on the evolution of the pandemic. We want all students to return to class, we want education to take place in the classroom. On the other hand, we cannot ignore what is happening in Romania from the point of view of pandemic view, “added Ludovic Orban.
