Congestion at Southern custom check points
At the customs in the Southern part of the country there are queues of cars that stretch for miles. For checking formalities, people have to wait in line for dozens of minutes. Tourists have come early in the morning, to avoid congestion. At this time of the year, the traffic is intense at the border, because a large number of Romanians go to Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey for holidays. Most of the Romanians say they are going to Bulgaria, because access to the country is not conditioned by being vaccinated. Representatives of the Border Police recommend that tourists get their information about the travelling conditions but also the “Trafic online” app, where they can see the waiting time for every checking point.
Humanitarian aid from Romania
Romania will donate vaccines against COVID-19 to Tunis, Egypt, Albania and Vietnam. The aid of almost 1,300,000 doses has been approved on Thursday in the government meeting, at the request of the Health Minister that mentioned that the vaccines are produced by AstraZeneca. In Romania, almost 470,000 people have been immunized with this serum which is less and less chosen by people, in spite of insurances that it is effective against the coronavirus, and the risk of secondary effects is extremely low.
