USR PLUS Alliance calls for immediate adoption of legislation on quarantine, isolation

The USR PLUS Alliance accuses "excessive politicization" of measures to limit serious infections and death due to COVID-19 and calls for the immediate adoption of legislation on quarantine and isolation.

"Together with the responsible citizens of Romania, the USR PLUS Alliance raises an alarm signal and condemns the excessive politicization of legal and sanitary measures aimed at limiting the number of serious illnesses and deaths due to COVID-19. If medical experts, political forces and citizens have managed to cope with the first wave of the pandemic, now this fight is hampered by destructive political messages. The so-called 'leaders' of some political parties have succeeded, through their populist and unconscious messages, in inducing a false state of security, promoting, in a deeply irresponsible way, premature relaxation. Their goal is a strictly political and electoral one," reads a Tuesday's release of the alliance for AGERPRES.

The signatories of the release call on all parties to immediately adopt the legislation governing quarantine, isolation and hospitalization, home treatment, based on the analyzes and recommendations of specialists in epidemiology, infectious diseases and public health.
