COVID – 19 – On Friday 31,724 new cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection were reported in Romania in 24 hours alongside 60 deaths, two of which were from previous days. The highest number of cases since the beginning of the pandemic in Romania - 34,255 - was registered on Wednesday. The authorities expect the number of cases to rise to more than 40,000 a day next week. The number of hospitalized Covid patients has reached almost 8,000, and about 730 patients are in ICUs, of whom 85% are unvaccinated. On the other hand, a new drug intended for the treatment of those infected with SARS-CoV-2, who run the risk of developing serious forms of the disease, will reach the Public Health Directorates these days and then the hospitals and the assessment centers in Romania. The Health Minister, Alexandru Rafila, expects this product, Molnupiravir, to have a favorable impact in the next ten days, by reducing the pressure on the intensive care units and the number of deaths.
