Coronavirus community transmission is accelerating, Health Minister says

The authorities can currently manage the increase in the number of coronavirus cases but community transmission is accelerating, health minister Nelu Tataru told local television station Digi 24.

He explained the country was “approaching a period when we would see the doubling or tripling of daily cases.”

He insisted that people continue to follow the social distancing and hygiene rules, wear a mask in indoor public venues, at work, or when using the public transport.

“If people follow these rules, we can manage these increases, which are progressive, they are not exponential, and we can manage those cases that are currently in intensive care,” Tataru said.

He said problems could arise if cases start to double or triple in one day. “We are not there, but I’m repeating it: the hygiene, the social distancing rules need to be followed.”

He also explained that, as some of the coronavirus-related restrictions were eased, norms and rules were issued, and these need to be followed.
