The president also referred to the law establishing the conditions for isolation and quarantine, saying no law can stop the virus.

“It is up to every one of us and all of us to stop the spread of the epidemic. The Government can use the new mechanism, the new law outlining isolation and quarantine, but no law can stop a virus. Our contribution, everyone’s is needed,” he said.

Romania reported 1,030 coronavirus cases on July 22, the highest number since the start of the pandemic. The total number of coronavirus cases in the country reached 40,163 on July 22.
