Plot Spread of a novel strain of omicron coronavirus
From January 8, Romania will start to impose a fine for the wearing of & # 39; a protective textile mask, because, according to experts, this does not save from the spread of the coronavirus infection, reports RIA Novosti.
Authorities across the country concerned about the spread of the omicron strain, which is believed to be more infectious, have therefore equated wearing a cloth mask with not wearing it.
“ Experts say the Omicron strain is It spreads very quickly and is very contagious, so wearing a mask is very important to stop the spread [of the virus]. The penalty for wearing an inappropriate mask is equal to the penalty for not wearing it ',' ' Romanian interior minister Lucian Bode told Romanian television station Digi 24. According to media reports, in Romania the cost of the fine is $ 570.
According to official statistics, more than 1.8 million coronavirus infections have been recorded in Romania since the start of the pandemic. 1.75 million patients recovered, nearly 59 thousand & mdash; deceased.
Recall that from January 3, France introduced a mask regime for children six years and over.
