2023 will be the time to end the pandemic, but it should not be a political decision, Adrian Marinescu, an infectious disease doctor and medical director of the Mateus Balsa Institute of Infectious Diseases in Bucharest, said during a seminar on Wednesday. on the topic “COVID -19 and chronic patients”, organized by the Coalition of Patient Organizations with Chronic Diseases (COPAC).

While waiting for the end of the pandemic, 2022 is the year to live with it, says Adrian Marinescu.

Closing the pandemic does not necessarily have to be a political decision. “I saw that Mr. Biden announced it as well,” says Adrian Marinescu, adding that he is waiting for an announcement on the matter “from institutions like the WHO (World Health Organization). )”.

The medical director of the Institute, Matej Balsh, believes that “the big problem we had during the pandemic, not only in Romania, is that we politicized any information. We have to learn from this.”
