Ludovic Orban assured that in Romania total quarantine measures are not required and that in areas where the incidence has exceeded 3 per thousand inhabitants “it is clear that people wear masks and respect the imposed norms.”
The chief executive said on Friday that the government was “far” from making a decision on a “total quarantine,” and stressed that in order to impose new restrictive measures, the authorities must have “extremely serious motives,” says Agerpres.
“We are facing an increase in the number of cases, we do not deny it. On the other hand, we have already thought about a set of measures related to this increase in the number of cases that we apply and we are implementing and analyzing the effects. (…) We will have to have very serious reasons to impose other restrictive measures, and what is said about total quarantine, we are far from such a decision (…) I say on every occasion that we can live normally, we can have few restrictive measures with one condition: that people comply with the health protection measures It is simple if people respect the health protection measures: they can go to work, they can go to the show, they can live a life as normal as possible, with one condition: compliance with the protection measures, ”Orban said, when asked what would be the threshold from which the new restrictions would be taken into account.

According to the prime minister, the degree of compliance with health protection regulations has increased. “The degree of compliance has increased and I really appreciate it. It can also be seen with the naked eye on the street, not only in Bucharest, but in all places where the threshold of 3 has been exceeded, that an overwhelming majority of citizens follow the rules, and “If there are people who don’t follow the rules, the authorities do their duty and fine them,” Ludovic Orban said.
He added that the government wants to combat the COVID-19 pandemic while ensuring that the economy operates as close to normal as possible.
