General Doctor Ionel Paul Oprea takes over the coordination of the activity of PHD Bucharest
The Health Minister appointed the State Secretary general doctor Ionel Paul Oprea to take over the coordination of the activity of the Public Health Direction Bucharest until the deficiencies found at the level of this institution are remedied. Nelu Tătaru also asked Ionel Paul Oprea to continue evaluating the activity of this institution, started by the team led by general manager Bogdan Nica. The decision of the Health Minister comes after PHD Bucharest has been lately intensely criticized, in the context of the COVID-19 epidemic. The press wrote about failed or even non-existent epidemiological investigations. General doctor Ionel Paul Oprea also temporarily managed the Suceava County Hospital this spring during the state of emergency, when the medical unit there had become a center of infection with the new coronavirus. The Public Health Directions are key institutions in the management of the coronavirus epidemic, being the ones that should carry out all epidemiological investigations. At PHD Bucharest there were three leaders from the beginning of the coronavirus epidemic in our country and in the mandates of all three directors there were problems related to epidemiological investigations./opopescu
Controls and sanctions in the sea resorts
The inspectors of Consumer Protection servce in collaboration with the Seaside Command 2020 structure and with the participation of the Constanţa police and gendarmes carried out a wide control action in Eforie Nord, following which they applied over 70 fines, amounting to over 400.000 lei. The economic operators on the seafront and the beach were targeted, most of the sanctions coming as a result of non-compliance with the beach area intended for occupation with sheets. For four of the operators it was proposed to suspend the activity for periods between 1 and 12 months for repeated violations. Illegal constructions where public food activities were carried out were detected, without operating permits, which led to the cessation of the activity for endangering the health of consumers. The Constanţa Environmental Guard and the Dobrogea-Litoral Water Basin Administration also had representatives in the control teams in Eforie Nord./opopescu
