Prime Minister Ludovic Orban said on Wednesday that the health minister has taken measures to strengthen the public health directorates and to carry out epidemiological investigations "as fast as possible."
Regarding the situation at the University Emergency Hospital in Bucharest, where 17 doctors have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, Orban said that everything started from "the negligence of the former manager, who allowed admission and late diagnosis of some people."
"Basically, they violated the protocols, the triage mechanism of epidemiological investigation, immediate diagnosis, the isolation of suspected patients. We have kept in touch with the new director, Mr Carstoiu, who is doing his best," said Orban.
He also urged Romanians to be confident.
