Romania’s president extends state of emergency due to COVID-19

Romania’s president Klaus Iohannis signed on Tuesday, April 14, the decree for extending the state of emergency due to COVID-19 for another month, according to Romania-Insider.com.

There are no certain signs to show a slowdown in this pandemic, despite the unprecedented restrictions adopted by the world’s states, the president said, urging the citizens to continue respecting the restrictions imposed by the state authorities.

“Without these isolation measures, we would have been confronted with an explosion in the number of cases, impossible to manage by our healthcare system. It’s the black scenario that we have aimed to avoid since the first signs of the epidemic. Firm and timely action saves lives,” the president said in a statement. He emphasized the risks of an early relaxation of the restrictions.

“The danger hasn’t passed and relaxing the restrictions, that some politicians are irresponsibly asking for, would lead to a rapid increase in the number of cases, overpopulated hospitals and immense pressure on the healthcare system,” he added.
The president explained that all the restrictions currently in force remain valid.

“We all want to regain the life we had before the outbreak of this pandemic, but how fast this happens depends only on compliance with these restrictions. There are measures that temporarily affect some of our rights and freedoms, but which save lives,” Klaus Iohannis said.
