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.
