Romania's 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th coronavirus deaths

-- 64 year old woman from Suceava died on Tuesday. She suffered from a number of pre-existent conditions including arterial hypertension, ischemic cardiopathy, and arterial fibrillation. She traveled in between 13th and 29th of February to the Mauritius Islands, Seychelles, and Dubai.

-- 74 year old man from Ialomita who died at the hospital in Bacau. He suffered from pre-existent conditions including obesity, arterial hypertension and chronic renal insufficiency.

-- 59 year old man from Suceava. Like all the other patients who died so far, he suffered from pre-existent conditions including cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. No known history of travel or of meeting known positive cases. 

-- 80 year old woman from Suceava.  Again, she was known to suffer from pre-existent conditions including cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. She is believed to be an internal case who did not travel. The hospital will be disinfected due to the large number of coronavirus cases including those among medical personnel.

-- 72 year old woman from Caras-Severin. She died at Hospital for Infectious Diseases in Timisoara after being transferred from the County Hospital in Resita. She had traveled to Spain (Madrid). She suffered from diabetes, atrial fibrillation and ischemic cardiomyopathy.
-- 52 year old man from Suceava. He suffered from obesity and is the youngest reported victim to date. The hospital is now closed because of the high number of infections among staff. The media reports that 52 of the medical personnel have now been confirmed positive to the coronavirus test. Some patients will be sent home to be supervised by family physicians for 14 days and the more severe cases will go to other hospitals.

ALL the 14 patients who died to date due to the coronavirus were known to have pre-existent conditions.

Starting today Romania enters total lock-down, which means people can only travel for work and to go shopping for food or medicine. People over the age of 65 can only go out of their homes between the hours 11:00 and 13:00. The army will supplement gendarmery and police force to enforce these measures. The Romanian army has about 70,000 active personnel, while the police only about 45,000 employes. The fines are between 100 and 5000 lei.

I wonder how many of the police, army or gendarmery will suffer from coronavirus and have more lethal infections because they are forced to work long hours. A lot of them are older, obese and have pre-existent conditions, too. The weather is not great either. It snowed today, but that should improve.
