Prime Minister Ludovic Orban said on Friday that the government was far from considering nationwide lockdown, pointing out that in order to impose new restrictive measures the authorities must have very serious reasons, accoding to AGERPRES.
According to the prime minister, the degree of compliance with the health protection rules has increased. "The degree of compliance has increased and I really appreciate that. It can also be seen with the naked eye in the streets, not only in Bucharest, but everywhere where the [14-day cumulative COVID-19 cases per 1,000 population rate] of 3 has been exceeded, that an overwhelming majority of the public follow the rules, and if there are people who do not follow the rules, the authorities do their duty and fine them," said Orban.
He added that the government wants to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic while ensuring that the economy works as close to normal as possible.
