Moldovan authorities introducing state of emergency from Sept 11 to Oct 31 in healthcare sector over increase in COVID-19 morbidity
CHISINAU. Sept 9 (Interfax) – A state of emergency is being declared in Moldova’s healthcare sector from September 11 to October 31, Moldovan Health Minister Alla Nemerenko said.
"A state of emergency is declared in the sphere of public healthcare in Moldova due to the increase in the number of coronavirus infection cases. It will be in place from September 11 to October 31. This decision was made by the National Emergency Commission based on recommendations from the National Agency For Public Health. The decision is due to the development of the epidemiological process, which is ramping up and has a tendency toward constant escalation," Nemerenko told reporters on Thursday.
The agency has provided monitoring results that indicate an increase in the spread of coronavirus and a deterioration of the situation over the past four weeks, she said.
Citizens older than 18 years of age can attend events held outdoors (performances, festivals, etc.) or indoors (nightclubs, theaters, concert halls, etc.) starting September 11 only if they produce certain documents, Nemerenko said. These documents include a certificate of full vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test performed within the past three days. People will also be allowed to produce certificates confirming the presence of antibodies, which are valid for 90 days.
The vaccination process began on March 2. Of the 3.2 million citizens of Moldova, more than 1.3 million people have been vaccinated, and more than 700,000 have received two doses of a vaccine. The spread of coronavirus slowed considerably after the launch of vaccination, from 1,500-2,000 cases a day to 100. However, the number of infections began increasing in the middle of August. Some 500 or more cases a day began being registered in late August.
The total number of cases of COVID-19 recorded in Moldova is 272,325. A total of 260,508 patients have recovered, and 6,466 have died.
