The National Committee for Emergency Situations is meeting on Thursday to decide on possible new restrictions in order to limit the pandemic, announced the prefect of the Capital Alin Stoica.
He added that there will be a decision from the Government in this regard. The executive meeting begins at 5:00 p.m.
Prefect of the Capital: Many of the measures proposed by the DSP are good and we will consider them
Alin Stoica told Agerpres on Thursday that many of the measures proposed by DSP Bucharest are good and will be taken into account when issuing the decision of the Bucharest Municipal Committee for Emergency Situations (CMBSU) regarding the epidemiological situation.
They were also presented to the ISMB and reached the Government table and I am sure that they will be taken into account by the Government when it issues the Government’s decision and we will take them into account when we make the decision of the Emergency Situations Committee ”. Alin Stoica said.
He welcomed the proposed measures to reduce the overcrowding of the working adult population, as COVID-19 infections are particularly common in this category.
“All measures that lead to less crowding of the active adult population obviously … can lead to less infections and are appropriate measures,” said Alin Stoica.
DSP Bucharest’s analysis, according to him, includes statistical data on the evolution of the pandemic: the number of diseases, the pressure on hospitals, how existing staff can be used or if more staff are available, ATI beds.
Alin Stoica estimated that the CMBSU meeting will be held on Thursday, immediately after the government’s decision is issued, depending on the urgency with which those measures should be taken or on Friday.
Regarding the need to quarantine or not the Capital, he specified that the Prefecture will take the measures that the Executive deems appropriate.
“I repeat, the Institution of the Prefect is the representative of the Government in the territory, it will take the measures that the Government deems appropriate,” added Alin Stoica.
In Bucharest, authorities reported 1,092 new cases of Covid-19 on Wednesday and the infection rate reached 6.37 per thousand.
The coefficient of infections accumulated at 14 days, reported per 1,000 inhabitants, is higher than 7 in Ilfov County and higher than 6 in Timiş, according to information transmitted by GCS.
What restrictions could be imposed in the Capital?
According to government sources, the talks on Wednesday lean more towards restrictions over the weekend. One option would be for stores and malls to close on Saturdays and Sundays at 6:00 p.m.
On the other hand, specialists from the Public Health Directorate also came up with the option of keeping the stores open until 9:00 p.m., as before, but with limits to the minimum distance of two meters between customers.
Alin Stoica, prefect of Bucharest: “From DSP we received proposals to reduce the program and limit the number of people present, through a calculation that I consider incorrect and we should adjust it. They were practically proposing to increase the number of people who would have access. “
Health specialists have proposed, among other things, staggered work hours and epidemiological triage in institutions and, where possible, work as much as possible online. For private events there is the option of limiting the participants in weddings, baptisms and funerals to 16 people. The terraces will remain open, but authorities say they will close those that do not follow the rules, from the first infraction.
For its part, the Sector 5 City Council announced on Facebook a provision whereby, as of Thursday, shops, terraces, car services within the sector will close at 7:00 p.m., and on weekends at 5:00 p.m.
The agri-food markets would have reduced hours, as well as the playgrounds.
However, the proposals will not be implemented, says the prefect, because the final decision will be made at the city-wide level, not separately, by sectors.
The new measures, to be announced on Thursday, could go into effect later this week.
