Alexandru Rafila, Romania’s representative to the WHO, says that the number of daily COVID-19 infections will increase in the next period. He says that the number of cases may reach 10,000 a day again, but if the vulnerable population is vaccinated and the diseases occur among those who are at lower risk of developing severe forms, the pressure on hospitals will be greater.
“It just came to our knowledge then. Now it is more evident because congestion is being felt again in the ATI sections. Frontline hospitals have the highest proportion of occupied beds.
Things are changing and the healthcare system for COVID patients needs to be rethought, which should no longer be confined to a few hospitals, as this prevents other patients needing hospital care from accessing the hospitals that are currently in operation. COVID, ”Rafila said. on Digi24.
He believes that the number of cases will certainly increase in the next period.
“It is important the speed of growth, where the cases increase and which are the age groups most affected. It is difficult for me to say now how much they will grow. Things have changed since last year. It is possible to reach 10,000 cases a day again, but if there will be fewer of the vulnerable categories, because they have already been vaccinated there, they are still vaccinated, then if the younger people, less affected by the disease, they will infect, the Hospital services will not be requested to the same extent, ”added Rafila.
