Update on Romania and Covid-19
The situation in Romania is reported as being “quite worry-ing” over the past few weeks with the country’s new daily Covid cases breaking record after record.
Romania has announced a state of alert and the Government is very concerned about the healthcare capacity. Of the 1250 intensive care beds available there are fewer than 300 beds left for patients requiring this level of care.
Just like the UK the country is divided into three levels of alert—red, yellow and green with different restrictions in each of the zones. Sibiu is currently in the red zone .
However, on 9th November a more generalised lockdown began with schools closing and a national curfew imposed from 11pm to 5am.
Robert from Love Light Romania reported this week that the virus has reached the village where Jim’s House is situated, and one of the carers for Bianca, Ionut and Alex has been in isolation. As a result he has had to move in to look after the three of them.
