 TOTAL 1.911.546 8.118  

*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 1.911.546 cases of infection with the new coronavirus (COVID-19) have been registered in Romania on January 17th, of which 20.619 are from re-infected patients, tested positive for more than 180 days days after the first infection.

1.776.122 patients were declared cured.

The number of people considered cured is that of 15.01.2022, for today it could not be calculated due to some corrections that appeared on the dedicated electronic platform.

Apart from the newly confirmed cases, following the retesting of patients who were already positive, 358 people were reconfirmed positively. The distribution by county of these cases can be found in the table below.
