The decisions come after a spike in the number of new Covid-19 cases in Romania in recent days, Romania-insider and Romania Journal report.
Restrictions introduced to limit the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus started to be tightened from yesterday. People are allowed to leave their homes only to go to work or go shopping for food, Iohannis explained.
On March 21, the authorities decided to restrict people’s movement outside their homes between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., with only a few exceptions.
The authorities also recommend people to also limit their movement outside their homes during the day, Romania-insider and Romania Journal say.
