President Klaus Iohannis said that in the parliamentary elections the health security of the polling stations will be better than in the local ones, but also that in the previous election the people who went to the polls did not get infected, but only those who did not respect the rules in force.
He stressed that an increase in the infection rate after the parliamentary elections is not expected.
"The local elections were held in complete safety and no one became infected because they went to the polls, the people became infected because they did not follow all the rules that were in force at the time. In the meantime, we have stronger measures and we see that very many Romanians respect them. This is extremely good news. On the other hand, the medical safety of the polling stations will be better this time than at the local elections. As such, no, we do not expect an increase in the infection rate after the parliamentary elections," Iohannis said.
