Head of the Emergency Department, Raed Arafat, does not exclude the possibility of a fifth wave of the pandemic, because, in the absence of vaccination, the virus finds a very favorable ground here.
“If we don’t get vaccinated and there are more options, we remain vulnerable as we are now. The fact that we are vulnerable to other countries now is because the virus has found a very favorable ground, 70% unvaccinated “, Raed Arafat declared, on Friday evening, at Digi 24.

Asked if there will be a fifth wave of the pandemic, Arafat said: “If we do not get vaccinated and there are other options that the vaccine can prevent … and we know that they can occur. If the virus finds a suitable ground for it, it is normal for it to enter without any problems. It all depends on how we behave and what solution we want. The countries that have reached a high percentage of vaccination, life there is very close to normal “.
Arafat previously explained that the world average vaccination is 45%, while in Romania it is just over 30%.
Romania is currently facing the fourth wave of the pandemic, which has brought record figures, both in terms of the number of infections and the number of deaths.
