Health Minister Alexandru Rafila said Tuesday that sequencing has shown that the Delta coronavirus strain has no longer been circulating in the last week, Agerpres reports.
"Practically, all the sequencing conducted during this period has only shown the circulation of the Omicron strain. Whereas in the past weeks infections with other variants, generally Delta, accounted for 3, 4 or 5 percent of the total, in the last week we had practically no Delta strain circulation in Romania. This is important," Rafila told a news conference.
He said the positivity rate is "somewhat stabilized" at 8-9 percent.
"The positivity rate has stabilized in the last period. It reached 7.4 percent in the week before the restrictions were lifted, between February 28 and March 6, and is now somewhat stabilized at 8 - 9 percent. This is the proportion of positive tests out of the total performed. There is also a stabilization of the basic reproductive rate at around 0.75," the Minister said.
