The Black Sea shore, one of the areas with a high risk of contamination with COVID-19
Sea shore resorts are the most crowded places in the country at this time of the year and the risk of contamination is high. Still, measures imposed by authorities to prevent and limit the spread of the new coronavirus are often ignored.
In crowded areas, especially on the quays, wearing a mask is compulsory after 18:00 o’clock, together with maintaining the social distance rules that have already been imposed in the gardens of the restaurants, on the beaches, in shops or hotels. Not all tourists respect norms, which could foil the common effort to overcome the crisis generated by the spreading of the virus.
Authorities check hundreds of businesses every weekend and, only last night, they applied 185 sanctions of around 270 000 lei, 33 of which for not respecting measures of individual protection.
