Romania is in the vortex of the pandemic, which rising steadily and hospitals under unprecedented pressure, while the country is in the last positions in terms of vaccination coverage in the European Union.
On November 2, 591 people died from the coronavirus, while in general the average number of deaths per day is close to 500!
Data from the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC) put Bulgaria at the bottom of the list – at least one dose, at 23.8% of the population, followed by Romania at 36.5%.
Characteristic of the situation in the country is the image coming from the city of Buzau, north of Bucharest at the southeastern tip of the country where the hospitals are so full that doctors have reached the point, having no other beds, to leave patients in cars in the parking lot so that they can be supplied with oxygen.
“We have someone from yesterday, from 01:00 in the car, and the nurse explained to us how to use the oxygen tube, because they are very crowded and can not cope. There is a lot of pressure, there are two nurses for 70 patients”, says a relative of a patient in the Romanian network Stirile Pro TV.
