Health Minister Nelu Tătaru affirms that if citizens respect the rules to prevent infection with the new coronavirus, then the situation could stabilize at a ceiling with approximately 2,000 cases per day.
The Health Minister stated on Saturday, on a television channel, that of the 583 COVID-19 patients in Intensive Care, 179 are on mechanical ventilation, News.ro reports.
“There are 583 patients in intensive care of the 179 who are on mechanical ventilation. But not only Intensive Care, but the directionality that we see in the emergency units due to respiratory disease or fever, as well as the agglomerations in the section of infectious diseases or pulmonology , Covid support hospitals re-adapt during this period. Three days ago, we recommended county DSPs to re-evaluate those hospitals that were Covid support and request non-Covid activity to be re-evaluated to reach bed capacity , as well as making available everything that means 10%. of the intensive care beds in reserve for any eventuality. At this moment we are in 2,064 cases, we are trying to stabilize an average or plateau of 2,000 cases, but it is not just us. “said the Minister of Health.
When asked what are the reasons for the increase in COVID-19 cases lately, Nelu Tătaru replied: “We have reached the resumption in September of activities, everything that meant school, everything that meant economic activity, everything that meant returning from vacation, reopening of restaurants, reopening of cinemas, theaters, electoral campaign and local elections. We have the same parameters that we maintain. At the level of everything that means economic activities, whether it is a restaurant, a theater, or a cinema, that index of 1.5 will lead to its closure, everything that means an index of up to 1, 1 and 3 or greater than 3 will readjust a school activity, and the security forces will make this evaluation so that these precautions are observed ”.
When a location is in quarantine
The minister also specified that a town enters quarantine when the rate of COVID-19 cases exceeds three.
“The quarantine of a locality is done when we have a free community transmission and when we have an index higher than 3. There are also localities that have an index higher than 3, but outbreaks installed in institutions for the elderly, for neuropsychic patients, in hospitals, and they are isolated. and quarantined, that location will not be quarantined. Each case, each outbreak, each locality is judged. What we see now is the evolution after a whole summer and resumption of activities and in which we have some precautions that have existed since the beginning of summer when we begin to relax.“Nelu Tătaru explained.
He said that if citizens comply with the protection rules, then the number of cases can stabilize at two thousand per day, and otherwise we will see an exponential increase in the number of infections with the new coronavirus.
“If each of us follows those rules, we should stabilize that cap at around 2,000 so that we can think of better times. If you don’t meet these rules, we will see gradual and exponential growth in the next period. We don’t have to just think about an increasing number of cases, all these cases come in a health system, all these cases will be assumed by an already tired medical body, with more than seven months of pandemic “., also stated Nelu Tătaru.
After the tests carried out at the national level, compared to the last report, 2,064 new cases of people infected by the new coronavirus were registered.
