Several Romanians working seasonally in Italy will be brought to the country by plane, and a first flight of this kind, from Turin, is scheduled on Saturday.
According to the quoted source, a first flight will be organised from Turin on 21 March.
The details regarding the organisation of this charter type flights will be communicated in due time to the Romanian citizens who meet the aforementioned criteria.
The MAE renews the calls made regarding the avoidance of any foreign trips which are not absolutely essential and the recommendation that tourists or Romanian citizens who are temporarily abroad urgently return to the country.
"We also call on the Romanian citizens to prove understanding and responsibility, and responsibly assess the opportuneness of currently traveling abroad. Such trips can entail major risks, endangering the citizens' safety and their possibility to return to the country. Moreover, we call on the Romanian citizens with the domicile or residence abroad to strictly observe the recommendations of the authorities in these states and we underscore that trips to Romania are not advised. These trips can be affected by the restrictions imposed by the transit states and can be an additional factor of spreading the COVID-19 infection, thus, endangering the safety of those back home," the MAE mentions.
