PM Orban: It's too early to make announcements related to the tourist season

Prime Minister Ludovic Orban on Wednesday stated in Dragomiresti that no final decisions were made yet with respect to the July-August tourist season, but he said that, in his opinion, hotels and boarding houses could resume activity if they observe certain rules, while restaurants come with a higher epidemiological risk.

The head of Executive underscored the risk is still high of spreading the coronavirus if restaurants reopen. Ludovic Orban said for each restriction that is lifted a 15-day period will follow during which the authorities will make assessments of the possible effects on the level of infection of the citizens and, depending on how things evolve, new decisions will be made.

Prime Minister Orban, accompanied by the Minister of Economy and the Minister of National Defence, on Wednesday paid a visit to a special products plant in Dragomiresti, Dambovita County, where equipment was already installed to produce medical masks.

The hotel owners on the Romanian seaside are preparing for the start of the season, regardless if it will take place on June 1, June 15 or later, and have already taken into consideration the implementation of a set of measures to protect the health of tourists, but also of the employees, the Mamaia Constanta Owners' Association (OPMCTA) says. According to him, tourists will not eat all at once, but in several stages in the hotels that do not have sufficiently large spaces, in order to avoid crowds at the restaurants, a table will seat only one family, beach beds will be spaced out and sanitized after each use, and air mattresses might disappear from the beaches.
