Octavian Jurma issues an extremely serious warning for millions of Romanians throughout the country, in the midst of flu season and COVID-19, which overlap with other viruses circulating in Romania, drawing attention to the importance of vaccination, especially with the new anti-Coronavirus serum, updated for the XBB variant, but also powerful against the BA.2.86 one.
Octavian Jurma talks below about the fact that Romania is in an epidemic wave of COVID-19, the number of cases increasing, on average, by 17.5% in the last 3 weeks, and unfortunately, until now 59 people they lost their lives due to the Coronavirus, the number of those killed by the flu being 5, so far.
Octavian Jurma recommends Romanians to get vaccinated against COVID-19, but also against the flu, to be safe, especially since the new updated serum for the new subvariants has finally arrived in Romania, but anyone who wants to do it , he will have to look for his family doctor in the next few days, or find one in pharmacies, as long as the increase in cases of infection continues.
“The updated XBB monovalent booster vaccine is effective against all circulating Omicron versions (including Eris [XBB]and Pirola [BA.2.86]). COVID-19 is 10x worse than the flu. Last winter, in wave 7, COVID-19 killed 1,033 Romanians, while the flu killed 97 in the same period. In this viral season, the proportion seems to be maintained, and so far COVID-19 has killed 59 Romanians, while the flu killed 5 people.
With a further increase of 4.5% in the number of new weekly cases of COVID-19 recorded last week (from 1,792 to 1,872 new cases), we have an average increase of 17.5% over the last 3 weeks and clear confirmation that we are facing a new epidemic wave of COVID-19, which overlaps with the flu and measles.”
