cases of Covid-19 and 18 related deaths were reported in Romania in the last 24
hours. According to data provided by the National Institute of Statistics, the
infection rate in Romania in the last 14 days is 0.56 per one thousand
inhabitants and all counties are in the green scenario. However, over the last
week, the numbers have been growing, as compared to almost two months of
descending trend. Public health specialists and authorities are warning that
some 100 cases of infection with the Omicron variant have already been
confirmed across the country, and estimates show that it will become dominant
within the next two weeks. The bleakest of the wave 5 scenarios speaks of
around 25 thousand new cases per day in the peak period and a huge pressure on
the health-care system. The vaccination pace continues to be extremely low. In
Romania, a little over 7.8 million people have been fully vaccinated since the
start of the vaccination campaign.
