The General Mayor of Bucharest, Nicusor Dan, declared on Thursday that an eventual ease of restrictions will be analysed within the Emergency Situations Committee of Bucharest Municipality, but it will have to wait a few more days, in order to see how the situation will settle, according to AGERPRES.
"Firstly, we need to salute this drop, these are some numbers which I look over each morning, we are under 3 (cases per 1,000 inhabitants, ed. n.), and we were at 7 a month and a half ago. I can honestly say that at the beginning of my term I was very, very worried. When I took over this term at the end of October, we were on an upward slope and I was afraid of where we might end up. Mask-wearing and the attitude of Bucharest citizens helped us reach this point. There will be a discussion within the municipal committee on this topic and you will see the decision we will make. Let us wait a few more days, see that this situation will settle. So far, regarding numbers, we were at 1,000 per day, we were at 2,000 per day and now it seems that we are somewhere around 200-300-400 per day", he specified, for RFI.
Nicusor Dan mentioned that he will vaccinate, once it will be his turn to do so.
