The Secretary of State for the Interior Ministry, Raed Arafat, presented details on the restrictions that will take effect in Romania from Monday, for 30 days.

Main statements:

Raed Arafat:

  • GD and GEO were adopted, and the new measures would go into effect on Monday
  • Wearing a mask will be widespread, wherever we are outdoors. It is the measure that will most limit the spread of the virus if it is observed
  • The second national measure – close stores at 9:00 p.m. There are exceptions: who guarantees home delivery, pharmacies and gas stations.
  • Limit trips between 23-5 hours, because this is the interval in which young people, more, move, go out, party
  • There are exceptions based on supporting documents: travel for professional interest, medical assistance that cannot be postponed, medications, child / elderly care.
  • Party ban
  • A clarification has also been introduced on what is meant by terraces: the clear definition is found in the anti-smoking law. The enclosed space has a roof and two sides. The enclosed space rule then applies and cannot be treated as terraces.
  • Prohibition of the operation of markets, fairs. The exceptions are closed markets, according to the rules.
  • Change the work schedule in at least 2 groups, at hourly intervals, to be done. It is mandatory where there are more than 50 employees
  • The GEO on mandatory tasks was issued when possible
  • By order of the Minister of Education, kindergartens and extracurricular activities remain open. Otherwise, schools connect to the Internet. The CNSU’s decision provided that schools would also be closed
  • The GEO on strategic stocks, the modification of its annex and the equipment acquired through ONAC and IGSU were issued. Ventilators were added for non-invasive ventilation. What this means? We currently have ventilators that can perform invasive ventilation and some with a mask for non-invasive ventilation. We are talking about 1,500 pieces
  • Buy High Flow Oxygen Therapy Delivery Systems, 1000 Pieces
  • 3000 individual oxygen concentrators, 50 high capacity
  • Device for critical analysis in intensive care, secretion aspirators
  • Rapid antigen tests, to be used especially for symptomatic ones: 3 million pieces
  • Surgical masks – 50 million, syringes – 10 million, for the vaccination campaign against COVID, when it will start.
  • The estimated amount is 67 million euros
  • I insist that we cannot act alone. We need you to be with us
  • I know there will be discontent, we already had to implement these types of measures, so as not to be too late
  • Don’t listen to the news that can tell you that these things are not right, that we should not wear a mask. It is very important to verify where you get the information from
  • Why are the nurseries open? Because it’s hard for working parents. Of course, teleworking will decrease the activity of daycare centers
  • Do the terraces remain open? If they are terraces by definition, they remain open. If they are closed spaces, I follow the rule of closed spaces
  • What should the declaration look like at your own risk? It can be written by hand, the form can also be downloaded.
  • Telemunca – These are mainly public institutions. We believe that companies have their own responsibility, we hope we are not in a situation where someone says they do not want to postpone the program. Implementation is mandatory. The Ministry of Labor will act if it is not complied with
  • At this time, we expect the increase in COVID-19 cases to continue. The insistence is that the measures are maintained for at least 30 days, so that they have an impact.
  • Our joint effort can reduce the incidence. If we implement the measures correctly, we can see a decrease in the number of diseases in a month
  • Election campaign: the same rules apply as in the local electoral campaign.

Ban on driving between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., except for trips to work and for medical attention, ban on meetings for holidays, anniversaries, parties, suspension of closed markets, online education, are some of the decisions taken on Thursday night by the National Committee for Emergency Situations. The new restrictions must be approved by the government.

The measures would take effect on Monday, for a period of 30 days.
