Covid-19 update. Romania reported
almost 29,000 new Covid cases today, as well as 110 related fatalities,
including two from an earlier date. The positive rate hit 32.5, while the
fortnightly incidence rate in Bucharest passed 28 cases per 1,000 inhabitants,
the highest to date. The health ministry official Adriana Pistol says the reproduction number has
decreased, but that there will still be rises in the number of infections. She
said Romania adopted the EU rule according to which the validity of the Covid certificate for travel within the EU is nine
months without the booster shot. In Romania, the Covid certificate for travellers
who have had the booster shot is valid until end of the year, with the EU yet
to make a decision in this regard. When entering Romania, unvaccinated
travellers must produce a negative Covid test result valid for 72 hours or
proof of recovery from infection in the last 180 days.
