“Unfortunately, we lost the battle with COVID-19, especially as there is pressure on the medical system not only on capacity, but also on the people who work in the system,” said Secretary of State Raed Arafat. He says that “it is very clear” that in the Capital the contagion rate of COVID-19 of 3 per thousand inhabitants will be reached, and in this case restaurants, cinemas and theaters will be closed and “it is possible” for students to follow online courses . The head of the Department of Emergency Situations also said that the next few days are crucial for the evolution of the epidemic.

“The fight with COVID-19, sadly, we lost”
Raed Arafat also said that the fight with COVID-19 was lost, speaking of the pressure on the medical system.
- “The fight with COVID-19, sadly, we lost it. Especially because there is pressure on the medical system from various points of view, not only on capacity, but also on the people who work in the system.
- We will come to a time when patients will no longer be able to be transferred to hospitals designated as COVID, but will remain in the hospitals where they are and will be treated in those hospitals where circuits must be created at the intensive care level, at the level of other departments. treat other patients.
- And right now we have patients who are being treated in hospitals that are not designated by COVID because we cannot transfer immediately, but we transfer in a few hours or the next day. But at some point we will have to prepare clearly and the system must be prepared and the Ministry of Health has instructed the entire health system that at some point we will start keeping the sick in non-COVID wards, “said Arafat. .
“It is not desirable that the Gendarmerie go with the personnel after the people”
The secretary of state also said that if people do not understand why the measures are being taken, it means that there is a big problem in their implementation.
- “Nor is it desirable to wake up that the Gendarmerie is going after people with the baton and that is why it is trying to be a dialogue, because no one wants us to reach other actions, another level of confrontation, as has happened in other countries. “Underlined the head of DSU.
“The next few days are crucial”
The head of DSU also said that the next few days are crucial for the evolution of the epidemic.
- “If we keep seeing situations like the ones we saw in the Old Center and if the people are not willing to understand – the parties could move home, if they are 30-40 in an apartment and have a party, the authorities cannot have any. control – then it is unconscious and we will see that our measures will fail (…) If the majority follow the rules, we may end up controlling the situation on a plateau and begin to see a downward curve in the next few weeks. It does not happen suddenly! slowly, ”Raed Arafat added.
The incidence rate of COVID-19 cases at 14 days is below the limit of 3 per thousand inhabitants in all municipalities, a limit that would require the application of new restrictive measures at the local level. Bucharest leads the first place with a COVID-19 incidence rate of 2.81 per thousand, followed by Alba (2.56), Vâlcea (2.5) and Cluj (2.24).
