President Klaus Iohannis is conducting, on Saturday, a visit to the ROL 2 Military Field Hospital, set up in the perimeter of the Ana Aslan National Gerontology and Geriatrics Institute in Otopeni.

Wearing gloves and a surgical mask, President Klaus Iohannis got out of the car and saluted Prime Minister Ludovic Orban, Health Minister Nelu Tataru, Interior Minister Marcel Vela, as well as the commander of the unit.
