Romanian authorities have established new protection rules against COVID-19
Every three minutes a Romanian is killed by Coronavirus. In just a few days, the neighboring country could surpass the record of more than 50,000 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic. Meanwhile, other European countries are trying to reduce the large number of infections. In the Czech Republic, unvaccinated students are required to take tests for COVID-19, and Hungarian authorities have tightened measures to prevent and protect against the virus, Mesager reports.
The National Committee for Emergencies in Bucharest has established new rules for protection against the virus. Thus, the green certificate is mandatory for several activities, including entry into stores, wearing a protective mask is mandatory everywhere, including on the street, private events are prohibited and night quarantine has been reintroduced nationwide.
Meanwhile, students in the Czech Republic who study in schools in regions with a high infection rate are required to pass COVID-19 tests systematically. Those who refuse testing and are not vaccinated must wear a mask and keep their social distance.
"I can say that we have been used to testing children since spring. I think that the students have already accepted this and the reluctance has decreased, both from the little ones and from the parents. After all, it is the surest way to overcome this situation ", mentions one of the Czech school principals, Dana Walterova.
The Hungarian government has also tightened measures to prevent the spread of the disease.
"Starting with November 1, wearing a mask is mandatory in public transport, in open spaces, but also in waiting stations. In addition, employers can additionally request testing of all workers if they deem it necessary, ”said Gergely Gulyas, the government's representative in Budapest.
To date, more than five million people have lost their lives to Coronavirus, and more than 250 million have contracted the disease.
