BUCHAREST, Jan 4 — The number of daily Covid-19 infections more than doubled in Romania today following an easing of restrictions during the winter holidays, and officials estimate the fifth wave of the pandemic could see twice as many cases as the previous one.
New infections in the preceding 24 hours stood at 3,900, more than double Monday’s number, but still far off a record high of 18,863 daily cases seen in October, official data showed. Some 47 people died of the virus within the last 24 hours. With school children now back in class, the number of cases is expected to rise further.
“It remains to be seen how many cases we will have in the fifth wave, we estimate a doubling of the number of cases.” In October, Romanian senators narrowly rejected a bill requiring medical staff, public sector workers and those of large privately-owned firms to carry a Covid-19 health pass which was aimed at boosting vaccine uptake.
