The Government will allocate, during Wednesday's session, the sum of 460 million lei from the Reserve Fund for expenses with medicine and preparation of the necessary ICU beds to managing the COVID-19 pandemic, Prime Minister Florin Citu announced.He presented this project within the PNL (National Liberal Party)'s Executive Bureau reunion on Tuesday."We will allocate 460 million lei from the Reserve Fund, which shows that preparations for the fourth wave were suboptimal, to put it elegantly, regarding medicine and expenses for the ICU. But, we are putting these resources at the disposal of the Ministry of Health to make sure that there will be no problems," Citu declared.   Most new cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection, compared to the last report, were registered in Bucharest - 1,912 and in the counties of Timis - 564, Cluj - 396, Iasi - 392, Ilfov - 357, Constanta - 333, Prahova - 281, informed, on Tuesday, the Strategic Communication Group (GCS).The fewest new cases of COVID-19 were in the counties of Covasna - 41, Harghita - 42, Tulcea - 51.The Capital City has an incidence of 5.57 cases per thousand inhabitants.   The COVID-19 vaccine coverage, nationwide, from the eligible resident population of over 12 years of age, is of approximately 33%, Bucharest City having a 51.13% coverage, the president of Romania's National COVID-19 Vaccination Coordination Committee (CNCAV), military doctor Valeriu Gheorghita, declared on Tuesday."Coverage of the eligible resident population of over 12 years of age is of approximately 33%.

In what regards the vaccine coverage for Bucharest City, at this time, it is 51.13%. All counties, except one, have vaccine coverage of over 20 pct," Valeriu Gheorghita specified.Valeriu Gheorghita added that, once the third dose started being administered, COVID-19 vaccination centers that had their activity suspended resumed their activity.Until September 27 there were 422,500 persons vaccinated against COVID in family doctor cabinets, most in the rural environment.
