Raed Arafat suggests that the quarantine could be reintroduced across the country if the situation becomes “dramatic.” However, for the first time, the Secretary of State supports local and regional isolation measures to stop the coronavirus.
“We said that we would go with the idea of zonal or regional measures, but it is clear that never say never, never say never. We do not know how it will evolve and it is possible at any moment, if the evolution is dramatic, to take more drastic measures. But the intention is to take measures by localities, by zones “, He said Raed Arafat, Friday night, on Antena 3, quoted by news.ro.
The Secretary of State thus responded to the question of whether restrictive measures would be taken again, since the number of COVID-10 diseases would continue to increase.
Arafat also spoke about the situation in the Prahova commune, Gornet, whose mayor sued him and won, citing an abusive quarantine. Arafat also said that the mayor’s example should not be followed by other mayors.
“We hope a much closer and correct collaboration with the local authorities and with all those who represent the local authorities, to limit the spread, not to end up restricting much larger areas later,” said the secretary of state.
Access to effective drugs is “limited”
Raed Arafat also said that almost half of the capacity of the Intensive Care Unit is occupied in hospitals that provide care for patients infected with SARS-CoV-2.
“If the number of cases increases, beds will be assigned in the non-COVID area, which will affect other pathologies. (…) We ended up transferring patients from one locality to another. Today, from Alexandria, I transferred a patient to Medgidia by helicopter “, Arafat explained.
Said plumbing stocks are “best” now. However, access to medicines, especially to Remdesivir, it is “limited” and Romania recently received a new stretch of the drug considered the most effective treatment for COVID-19, the secretary of state added.
