Romania’s National Council for Emergency Situations (CNSU) decided on Saturday (August 1) to limit the program of bars, clubs and outdoor restaurants in Bucharest and six other counties.

The measure includes Constanta county, where the most seaside resorts are located, and Prahova and Brasov counties, which host the most popular mountain resorts.

The bard and clubs in the targeted counties won’t be allowed to open before 6:00 and close after 23:00.

The measure is aimed at limiting the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Romania recorded over 1,000 new COVID-19 cases on Sunday, for the 12th day in a row. The total number of people infected in the country thus reached over 53,000.
