The toll has climbed to 109 on Saturday at noon after three members of the National Liberal Party (PNL) had been confirmed with COVID-19, being infected by the Liberal senator Vergil Chitac, who had tested positive for coronavirus on Friday, and other six separates case came out with the infection.

Chitac attended a NATO meeting in Brussels and apparently he did not respect the quarantine/isolation measures imposed under these circumstances.

On Saturday, the Group of Strategic Communication has confirmed there are three more people who tested positive, namely the three PNL members who had got in contact with senator Chitac the past days when they all attended the party’s National Political Bureau: Liberal deputy Lucian Heius, mayor of Deva Florin Oancea and a county councilman Adrian David Nicolae.

All three are in isolation at home.

What does the 3rd scenario mean?

The third scenario is in place when the number of infections exceeded 100, from 101 up to 2,000 (a spread on large scale) and implies tougher measures and restrictions, as the pressure on the healthcare system is increasing.

Therefore, in this stage, the capacity of response to coronavirus is rising and a triage is starting in every hospital: cases of coronavirus will be prioritised and all other cases that are not emergencies will be delayed or relocated to other hospitals. All infectious disease hospitals will treat only patients infected with COVID-19. Spaces for treatment will be expanded and more doctors will be called on duty.

There will be new tightened restrictions on circulation and new spaces for quarantine are being identified. It’s possible now authorities will impose home quarantine under special security.

Very important, now it’s the stage when public gatherings involving more than 50 people are restricted.

“Cultural, scientific, artistic, religious, sports and entertainment activities that involve the participation of over 50 people in enclosed spaces are restricted, including those in spa treatment centres, fitness rooms, SPA and beauty salons, gambling halls and casinos”, informs the National Committee for Emergency Situations.
