 TOTAL 2.596.269 21.885  

*Regarding the “new cases not allocated by counties”, we specify that their number is determined by the changes brought to the electronic platform through which the test results for the new coronavirus are reported and centralized. Thus, according to the new methodology, the testing centers directly introduce the results of the tests performed, following that the epidemiological investigation will be performed at the level of the Public Health Directorates and the positive cases will be assigned to the county / locality to which the infected persons belong.

**Regarding the cases from abroad, these are cases of some citizens who came to Romania being infected in other countries. These cases were included in the total number of new cases not allocated by counties.

The coefficient of infections accumulated over 14 days, reported per 1,000 inhabitants is calculated by the Public Health Directorates, at the level of Bucharest Municipality and counties. Below you have the chart based on the reports received by CNCCI from the Public Health Directorates:

Until today, a total of 2.596.269 cases of infection with the new coronavirus (COVID-19) have been registered in Romania, of which 93.218 are from re-infected patients, tested positive for more than 180 days days after the first infection.

2.167.427 patients were declared cured.

Apart from the newly confirmed cases, following the retesting of patients who were already positive, 1.569 people were reconfirmed positively. The distribution by county of these cases can be found in the table below.
