BUCHAREST – Marchers took to the streets Saturday to protest restrictive measures to fight the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
About 1,000 people converged on Victory Square and University Square, expressing frustration with an earlier curfew and shop closures that took effect at the end of March.
Many demonstrators waved tri-color Romanian flags and chanted “Freedom!” and “Down with the government!”
The protest was held on the same day that Romania passed the milestone of having 1 million confirmed COVID-19 cases.
