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!
