The number of new coronavirus infections in Romania has risen by 1,713 in the past day, a record high, taking the cumulative total to 107,011 cases, Reuters reported, while quoting government data.
President Klaus Iohannis ordered a strict lockdown across the country of 20 million in March and while restrictions have been eased, masks have been compulsory in public transport and indoor public spaces since May 15.
About a third of cases have been concentrated in four areas — the capital Bucharest, Transylvania's medieval city of Brasov and in the counties of Arges and Prahova.
