Epidemiologist Emilian Popovici says that it is the 10th day since the first symptoms of COVID-19 appeared, and describes his experience of the disease: “I could say that I was cured if I was not tired, very tired. In the first 5 days, I encountered fever, cough, sore throat, insomnia, extrasystole, rhinorrhea, and from the 6th day they subsided, but the fatigue remained, as I remember when I suffered hepatitis or infectious mononucleosis in childhood.”

“Trust me, SARS CoV 2 infection is not a disease that needs to be treated, regardless of the circulating viral variant or subvariant,” the doctor said in a statement.

In a post on his Facebook page, the epidemiologist urges Romanians not to wait “for the authorities to tell you or not to tell you what to do.” This virus does not wait to infect after any permission from the authorities! If you want to save your health and not lose days, weeks, months or even more of your life, wear a mask indoors, on public transport, in crowded streets, follow the rules of hand hygiene, keep your distance – to people who have symptoms disease, and avoid contact with other people if you have symptoms even in the early stages! Take care of yourself and take care of others!”

Protection rules should also be carefully followed during vacation, emphasizes Emilian Popovici: “You can spend your vacation by following the above measures, and of course you can spend your vacation if you are healthy! Once ill, I doubt that it will be possible to talk more about vacation. Let’s hear better and be healthy!”
