COVID-19 Romania on Monday reported 494 new Covid-19 infections, a lower number
than in the previous day. 17 thousand tests have been conducted, which means an
infection rate of 2.91. 45 fatalities have been reported and the total number
of patients treated in hospitals has dropped to roughly 4 thousand. Out of
these, 700 are in ICUs. Most of the cases have been reported in capital city
Bucharest, and in Cluj, western Romania. 7.6 million people have been fully
vaccinated in Romania so far. People coming to Romania from outside the
European Union or from other states in the red tier who are unvaccinated will
have to stay in quarantine for 10 days even if they have a negative PCR test.










OMICRON Britain has reported the
first death of a patient who was suffering from the Omicron variant.
Authorities in London have so far reported over 3 thousand infections with the
new variant and forecast that the total number of infections is going to reach
one million. The Omicron variant has caused worldwide concern and has already
been identified in 63 countries. In another development, the WHO has estimated
the real tally of the Covid-19 could be three times higher than that announced.
The information provided by the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine shows 270
million infections and 5.3 million deaths. The USA has been most affected with
roughly 50 million cases and 800 thousand fatalities. The Delta variant is the
most widespread variant in the USA, with 99% infections.











TRANSDNISTER The Romanian foreign ministry said Romania does not
recognise the legitimacy of Sunday’s elections in the breakaway pro-Russian
region of Transdniester in the east of the majority Romanian-speaking Republic
of Moldova. In a statement, it also reiterated its support for a comprehensive,
peaceful and sustainable solution of the conflict in keeping with international
law, respect for Moldova’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its
internationally recognised borders and without affecting its European path. The
Moldovan authorities also described the elections in Transdniester illegal.
Transdniester de facto broke away from Moldova in 1992 following an armed
conflict in which hundreds of people were killed and which only ended with the
intervention of the Russian troops on the side of the separatists.










SWIMMING Romania will bring five
swimmers to the 25 m competition in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates, taking
place over December 16th and 21st. Among them are Robert
Glinţă and David Popovici. Also on the Romanian team are George-Alexandru
Stoica-Constantin, Alexandra Dobrin, and Bianca Costea. We recall that the
Romanian team’s performance in the 25 m competition in Kazan, Russia, in
November, earned them three medals. The gold went to David Popovici for 200 m
freestyle, and a silver and a bronze went to Robert Glinţă for the 100 m and 50
m events. Popovici at that point got the first gold medal for Romania in the
history of 25 m events, after 4 silver and 8 bronze medals.
