The Secretary of State for the Interior, Raed Arafat, tried to explain on Friday night, on Digi 24, why it was necessary to close shops at 6:00 p.m. and called on employers to postpone the work hours of employees or appeal to telework. Regarding the large number of COVID-19 cases, Raed Arafat said that if the emergence of new cases is not limited, “we run the risk of stagnating,” according to News.ro.
“The problem arose, when there were discussions within the technical-scientific group, of a certain time interval for the traffic ban. And it was the idea of 8 pm, Monday to Friday and 6 pm from Saturday to Sunday. And in stores, on Friday at 6:00 p.m. and the rest of the weekend, at 4:00 p.m. After discussions within the National Committee, after arriving at the National Committee, it was time to stay at 8 pm and the shops at 6 pm because logically the situation is that at 8 pm the world will have arrived home. It means that, if the store closes at 6:00 p.m., it has two more people who pay, until they leave, until the employees leave, they already reach the limit, at 8:00 p.m. at home. That is the logic of those aspects ”, declared Raed Arafat in Digi24.
The Secretary of State was also asked if there is a possibility to recalculate these restrictions, he replied that the restrictions can be adapted according to the evolution of COVID-19.
“I am not taking it alone (the decision to relax the restrictions – no) because there is a technical working group. Any measure can be analyzed after a period of time and if the measure proves adaptable, it can be adapted. This has always been the case. If there is a need to adapt for the better, of course we can adapt, no problem, ”said Arafat.
Additionally, Raed Arafat claimed that the number of cases entering Covid hospitals is greater than the number of cases leaving these hospitals, according to News.ro.
