Ongoing — COVID-19 pandemic in Romania

January

  • 1 January – COVID-19 pandemic: The quarantine instated in the municipality of Constanța on 20 November expires on 1 January, at 20:00 EET.[2]
  • 3 January – COVID-19 pandemic: The Matei Balș Institute suspects a person who recently returned to Romania to have the British COVID-19 variant, now known as the Alpha variant. The Ministry of Health says that the variant has not yet been confirmed, since it requires the sequencing of the viral genome, starting from the probes selected after real-time PCR testing is done. The Department for Emergency Situations (Romanian: Departamentul pentru Situații de Urgență, DSU) says that no case has been confirmed on the territory of Romania so far. Two probes are collected from the suspected patient for testing. Romanian doctor Radu Țincu states that the suspected person did not recently go in the United Kingdom.[3]
  • 8 January – COVID-19 pandemic: The identity of the first case with the more contagious British COVID-19 variant is confirmed to be a 27-year-old woman from Giurgiu who showed up with minimal symptomatology at the "Matei Balș" Institute on 3 January, when she was hospitalised.[4]
  • 18 January – COVID-19 pandemic: The National Committee for Emergency Situations (Romanian: Comitetul Național pentru Situații de Urgență) decided to exempt those who had received a second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at least 10 days prior to their arrival in Romania from quarantine. It has also decided to release from quarantine the close contacts who had been in quarantine for 10 days, had gotten a negative COVID-19 test result on the 8th day, and did not present specific symptomatology. The people coming from the UK who have a confirmed infection no less than two weeks and no longer than 3 months prior to entering Romania, are not needed to present a COVID-19 test result upon on arrival. Quarantine can be temporarily suspended for essential reasons in the case of the people coming from epidemic risk countries.[5]
  • 26 January:
    • At around 10:40 EET, a man tells the Bucharest Police (Romanian: Poliția Capitalei) that there is an explosive device inside the Bucharest Court of Appeal (Romanian: Curtea de Apel București). The building is evacuated, and all trials are suspended. Elena Udrea is among the evacuated people, where she was participating in the last term of a trial regarding the financing of the election campaign of then-candidate Traian Băsescu at the 2009 Presidential election.[6] Later that day, the Bucharest Police announces that the bomb threat was a fake one.[7][8] The trial involving Elena Udrea resumes at 14:00 EET, on the same day.[6][9]
    • The sitting prosecutor of the National Anticorruption Directorate requests Elena Udrea to be sentenced to prison in the trial regarding the financing of Traian Băsescu's election campaign for the 2009 presidential election. She is accused of instigation to bribe taking and money laundering, which means she could risk up to 12 years in jail.[10]
  • 27 January – A snowstorm in the region of Northern Dobruja disrupts traffic on the A2 motorway and some national roads,[11] as well as electric power and water supply,[12] while 27 train services have been suspended.[11] The orange code was declared in the area between 10:00 and 21:00 EET.[13]
  • 29 January – At about 5:00 EET, a fire breaks out at the Prof. Dr. Matei Balș National Institute for Infectious Diseases of Bucharest. According to secretary of state Raed Arafat, the first emergency call was made at 05:05, and the first crew arrived 8 minutes afterwards.[14] 102 COVID-19 patients were evacuated and transferred to other pavilions of the hospital, or other hospitals from Bucharest. The cause of the fire is still unknown.[15] The death toll of the fire was 17.[16]

February

March

  • 1 March – Two workers who have been renovating an apartment in Onești, Bacău County, are killed by a former inhabitant of the apartment, who lost ownership of it 12 years prior to the incident as a result of a court decision.[25]
  • 5 March – COVID-19 pandemic:
    • The first two cases of the South African variant, the Beta variant, were confirmed in Romania, in patients from Bucharest and Pitești respectively.[26]
    • The National Committee for Emergency Situations adopted Decision number 15 which modifies the common agreement between the Ministries of Health and Education on the functioning of schools during the pandemic, so that students in 8th and 12th grades are allowed to participate physically in school no matter what, unless the locality the school is located in is quarantined.[27]
  • 8 March – COVID-19 pandemic:
  • 29 March – Protests against the Romanian Government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic escalate in Bucharest and several other cities. At Bucharest, shop windows, street furniture, bus stations and vending machines were vandalized, with the protest there eventually becoming violent.[30]
  • 31 March – COVID-19 pandemic: The lockdown imposed on the municipality of Timișoara on 8 March was lifted at midnight.[31]

April

  • 9 April – The Head of the Department for Emergency Situations Raed Arafat and Health Minister Vlad Voiculescu decided that the Foișor Orthopedy Hospital of Bucharest should only treat patients infected with the COVID-19 coronavirus and that all patients admitted to the hospital should be evacuated as soon as possible,[32][33] despite the hospital's management stating that it does not meet the criteria for it to become a COVID-19 ward.[34] The decision had led to a protest at the hospital.[35] The next day, USR-PLUS asked that the hospital manager and the ASSMB leader be fired, blaming them for "slowing the process of turning the orthopedy hospital into a COVID hospital".[36]
  • 10 April – COVID-19 pandemic: The total number of cases nationwide exceeds 1 million.[37]
  • 14 April – Prime Minister Florin Cîțu fires Health Minister Vlad Voiculescu, after multiple controversies throughout his almost four-month term in the Cîțu Cabinet. Andreea Moldovan was fired as well from her position of secretary of state in the Ministry of Health, also by Cîțu.[38] Deputy Prime Minister Dan Barna, the co-president of USR-PLUS, called the decision "politically unilateral and immature" and declared that the alliance forming part of the then-governing coalition no longer supports Cîțu as Prime Minister.[39] Cîțu himself became Minister of Health as interim.[40]
  • 16 April – The Court of Appeal of Bucharest legally recognizes the merger of the Save Romania Union (USR) and the Freedom, Unity and Solidarity Party (PLUS), the two parties conforming the electoral alliance 2020 USR-PLUS Alliance, into one single new party known as USR-PLUS. This merger had been decided earlier on 15 August 2020 during an online congress between the members of the two parties. The USR-PLUS will held a new congress in autumn 2021 to choose a new single leadership, with the presidents of both former parties, Dan Barna (USR) and Dacian Cioloș (PLUS), announcing that they will participate in the vote.[41][42][43]
  • 20 April – A MiG-21 aircraft of the Romanian Air Force (RoAF) crashes in an uninhabited zone near Dedrad in Mureș County during a training flight. The aircraft took off from the RoAF 71st Air Base at Câmpia Turzii at around 14:00 EEST with the company of 2 other aircraft of the same type, with the pilot, lieutenant commander Andrei Criste, later reporting an emergency and ejecting before the crash. The other aircraft returned to the base at around 15:00 EEST and an investigation about the incident was started, while the pilot was taken to a hospital in Târgu Mureș, where he received authorization to be taken to another one in Bucharest.[44]
  • 21 April – Ioana Mihăilă, the proposition of USR-PLUS for the Ministry of Health is sworn in by president Klaus Iohannis. She was previously secretary of state in the same Ministry, during the term of Vlad Voiculescu.[45][46][47]
  • 29 April – COVID-19 pandemic: Romania reports its first cases of the Delta COVID-19 strain, specifically of the B.1.617.2 sublineage, in an outbreak in Brașov County. The strain is thought to be contributing to a surge of COVID-19 infections in India that led to pressure on its healthcare system.[48]

May

  • 5 May – COVID-19 pandemic: Schools begin gradually reopening once again after a prolonged spring break, in conditions much closer to normalcy amid decreasing new infections. The number of scenarios in which they operate have been reduced to 2 instead of 3: below and above 1/1,000 inhabitants. For the first time, special schools operate in their full capacity as long as the locality in which they are located in is not quarantined. This process ended on 10 May when students in the 8th and 12th grades returned to their classrooms.[49]
  • 13 May – COVID-19 pandemic: The government announced a series of further relaxation measures, including the lifting of the night curfew and of the requirement of wearing face masks in uncrowded outdoor public areas. They took effect on 15 May.[50]
  • 25 May – Ludovic Orban, the president of the PNL announced the election calendar for all National Liberal Party branches, as part of a party congress voted to be held on 25 September. He said that there will be a time period of 45 days, between 10 August and 25 September, for the congress campaign. He also stated that the way the congress is going to be held will depend on how the pandemic plays out.[51]
  • 26 May
  • 27 May
  • 29 May – Aurel Crișan, a 66-year-old businessman, is murdered in a car explosion in front of a Profi store on Aurel Vlaicu boulevard in Arad.[60] The first hypothesis is that the bomb was controlled remotely. The SRI is excluding the hypothesis that the bombing was a terroristic threat.[61]
  • 31 May – COVID-19 pandemic: A significant amount of protesters in the Victoriei Square request for the suspension of the vaccination campaign for people that are not at least 18 years old. Their reasons include that "the COVID-19 vaccine is still in clinical studies", that "no student/pupil physically going to school spread the coronavirus", and that "there's no enough information regarding adverse reactions".[62]

June

  • 1 June – COVID-19 pandemic: Even more relaxation measures take effect. Gatherings of maximum 50 people in indoor areas and of maximum 70 people in outdoor areas became possible for private and cultural-artistic events. For the first time, vaccinated people are prioritized when it comes to such measures (however people who had COVID-19 in the past 90 days from infection or with a negative test can also get access to certain tasks); for such people, public areas have a bigger capacity, while clubs and bars have reopened.[63]
  • 4 June – The general school inspector of Bucharest, Ionel Pușcaș, was fired by the Education Minister Sorin Cîmpeanu over an incident at the "George Bacovia" School in Sector 4 where a pupil in the 6th grade left the building through a window in the 1st floor due to aggression, after the inspector called it an "ordinary play".[64]
  • 15 June – Marcel Ciolacu, president of the Social Democratic Party accuses the USR-PLUS and National Liberal Party of fraud in a vote in the Chamber of Deputies involving a simple motion against Minister of European Funds Cristian Ghinea in an attempt to keep him incumbent by including the votes cast from tablets, which Article 126 of the Regulation of the Chamber of Deputies only allows for normative acts. The motion would have passed if the votes cast from tablets were not included, according to the PSD and the AUR.[65]
  • 19 June – A cyclone formed in the Black Sea affects the eastern part of Romania, with floods reported in multiple localities. The city of Galați and the commune of Biliești, Vrancea County were among the most affected by the cyclone.[66][67] Among the Romanian road network, the BacăuOnești section of the DN11 (E574) was also notably affected, collapsing on a 100-metre segment.[66] The water in the Putna river reached historical levels higher than during the 2005 floods.[68]
The wing of the "Sfânta Maria" Clinical Emergency Hospital for Children of Iași where the fire took place.
  • 22 June – A fire breaks out at the Sfânta Maria children's hospital of Iași. However, unlike other hospital fires in Romania since the Piatra Neamț hospital fire, no one was carbonised but several patients were evacuated. The hospital had an electric installation dating from 1970 and had been under renovation works two years prior.[69]
  • 23 June – The Social Democratic Party submits the text of a vote of no confidence aimed against the Cîțu Cabinet, named "FAILED Romania. The 'fantastic' record of the Cîțu Government" (Romanian: România EȘUATĂ. Recordul „fantastic" al Guvernului Cîțu). Sorin Grindeanu, first vice president of the PSD accuses the government of being a danger to Romanians and Romanian businesses, of having frozen pensions and allowances and that it had brought the national Recovery and Resilience Plan (Romanian: Planul Național de Redresare și Reziliență, PNRR) disastrous reforms.[70]
  • 27 June
  • 29 June – The motion of no-confidence known as "FAILED Romania. The 'fantastic' record of the Cîțu Government" (Romanian: România EȘUATĂ. Recordul „fantastic" al Guvernului Cîțu) and aimed against the Cîțu Cabinet[70] was rejected by the Romanian Parliament, with 201 votes "for" and 1 "against". This result came after the leaders of PNL and USR PLUS refused to let the members of their parties to vote and forced them to "remain in their seats", while parliamentarians of the UDMR had abstained on their own.[74]
