COVID-19 revine în Europa, iar România riscă să fie nepregătită

A new wave of COVID-19 is spreading in Europe, driven by the Stratus variant, which causes severe hoarseness. In Romania, the rise in infections coincides with the flu season and a lack of updated COVID vaccines. Medical expert Octavian Jurma warns of the potential for rapid increases in cases, despite lower absolute numbers compared to previous waves. He emphasizes the importance of vaccination, especially for vulnerable populations, and criticizes the Romanian authorities for not providing access to updated vaccines. Jurma also highlights the need for mask-wearing in crowded public spaces and the significance of testing to differentiate between COVID-19 and flu symptoms.
