Precautions and social distancing must be further kept in place because according to the statistics, we still have three weeks ahead of an upward trend of the coronavirus pandemic, said Romanian Health Minister Nelu Tătaru on Monday in Galați southeastern Romania, news agency Agerpres reported.
During his Galați visit, the minister was asked about why he thinks the restrictions on cemetery visits are necessary, and his answer was that this measure falls into the social distancing requirements, just like the closure of stadiums and other sites where people could assemble.
According to the minister, precautions and social distancing must be maintained because the coronavirus pandemic in Romania is going to follow a rising trend for about another three weeks.
“The closure of cemeteries responds to the same requirement for social distancing. Any assembly, be it at the cemetery, the stadium, or a food establishment, means people getting close.”
– Tătaru said.
