This is what Deputy Minister of Health and Social Protection Eugena Tomini said in a televised interview on Thursday.

“Meanwhile, we note a decrease by half of the two-week incidence rate, which has steadily dropped in April and in the first week of May,” said Tomini.

According to her, the number of hospitalized cases that require intensive care treatment is towards decrease, while the number of fatalities remains unchanged.

Tomini went on saying that “during the election campaign, despite the appeals for strict adherence to the measures, there were gatherings of people. The second and the third week of May will see an increase of infection cases. Yet the big wave has been flattened.”

Speaking about the large-scale vaccination rollout, Tomini said that “vaccination has markedly mitigated the impact of pandemics. This summer will be way more relaxed in terms of restrictions than the previous one.”
