At Predeal, hoteliers say they are running full throttle in terms of hotel occupancy. However, doctors warn that after this holiday on National Day, we will find many of the partiers in hospitals, on Christmas Eve, infected with the new coronavirus.
In the area of mountain resorts in the Prahova valley, the first snow was deposited in a consistent layer, which attracted lovers of winter sports. This caused hotels to fill up very quickly.
“The reservations were made six months before or three months before, but at the same time and they were canceled a week before. I can tell you that in the last week we had 50% of reservations canceled and rescheduled even twice in the same week, “says Marius Ioniță, the manager of an accommodation unit at Predeal.
Faced with this wave, hoteliers have increased their accommodation prices overnight. Thus, a superior double room costs from 290 lei / night, while for an apartment, prices start from 350 lei / night.
Today’s tourists, tomorrow’s sick
The manager of the “Marius Nasta” Institute of Pulmonology in Bucharest, Beatrice Mahler, is raising a serious alarm signal, regarding people who ignore the official warnings related to the adoption of measures to prevent the coronavirus pandemic.
“I’m afraid, because these days off, which are four, mean for many Romanians mini-vacations that they take in various areas and that worries me, because it is impossible to avoid contact, if you go to areas where the population comes from other regions and is so heterogeneous. If in these four days we do not understand that we have to stay at home, at Christmas we will have full hospitals, as a consequence of this behavior that we have now, on December 1, “said Beatrice Mahler, manager of the” Marius Nasta “Institute in Bucharest.
The doctor also said that the coronavirus epidemic is widespread and that it would be time to take our own safety measures, including staying home instead of going to a resort, be it a mountain, to have fun.
“The diagnosis and infection of COVID is gradually moving to our homes, wherever they are, whether in cities or in the countryside, in villages, and we must draw attention to the need for a diagnosis at least with rapid tests than to get to the GP’s offices, “said Dr. Beatrice Mahler.
