INFO: What are we allowed and what are we not allowed to do during the emergency? The Strategic Communication Group responds.
We are in full pandemic with the new COVID-19. We have travel restrictions in other countries, but also in Romania. A number of military ordinances were approved, which "restricted" the freedom of movement of citizens. It is a measure of social distance, with the purpose of spreading the virus.
The recommendation is to stay in houses and leave only in emergencies and of maximum necessity. Those in isolation at home or in institutionalized quarantine DO NOT WANT to leave the premises.
In this situation, there were also many questions regarding travel outside the home. To some it may seem urgent, but let's see what he says Strategic Communication Group.
🔴1. Question: Can the shuttle go to work during this period? Who live in Ilfov, for example, and work in Bucharest?
Answer: According to the provisions of the Military Ordinance no. 3 of 24.03.2020 regarding measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, art. 1, point a "The movement of all persons outside the home / household is prohibited, with the following exceptions ... travel in professional interest, including between home / household and the place (s) of professional activity and back".
Thus, the normative act stipulates that the movement between the house and the workplace is allowed. It is not mentioned that the place where the professional activity is carried out must be the same as that of the domicile. According to your example, a citizen living in Ilfov can travel to the workplace in Bucharest, provided he has the documents provided in art. 4 of the aforementioned ordinance, namely the service card, the certificate issued by the employer or a statement on his own responsibility.
🔴2. Question: How far from our home can the specialist doctor's office be located? Can we go for this consultation from Cluj to Bucharest, for example?
Answer: There is no distance limit at which the medical office must be located, but we recommend that citizens travel for medical purposes, other than major emergencies, only after checking the availability of doctors.
🔴3. Question: At what maximum distance from home can the commercial unit be located where we can shop? Can we go shopping, for example, from the Berceni neighborhood to a hypermarket in Militari?
Answer: The provisions of the Military Ordinance no. 3 of 24.03.2020 regarding measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 does not mention a quantifiable distance, but the recommendation for citizens is to go to the nearest shops where the necessary products are marketed.
In strict reference to your example, a citizen living in the Berceni neighborhood cannot go shopping for products of strict necessity in the Militari neighborhood, as there are several hypermarkets in the home area similar to those in the Militari neighborhood.
🔴4. Question: Could a resident of Bucharest go, for example, to take medicines and food to his parents domiciled in Vaslui County?
Answer: The above mentioned normative act does not impose a distance limit. Regarding your specific question, yes, a citizen of Bucharest can go to Vaslui to take care of his parents.
🔴5. Question: What does it mean in kilometers, for example, "short commute, near home"? Should joggers just run around the block or on the adjacent streets? What is the maximum distance allowed?

🔴7. Question: Can an agricultural producer in Cluj, for example, come to sell potatoes in Bucharest?
Answer: The legislation in question does not impose a distance limit, but the logic of these restrictions is to avoid contact between people as much as possible, precisely to limit the spread of infection with the new type of coronavirus. Thus, although no distance limit is set, we recommend that agricultural producers travel as short distances as possible.
🔴8. Question: Is it allowed to the movement of persons who have not reached the age of 18 years outside the home / household, for the activities mentioned in points 5 and 6?
Answer: In the case of minors between the ages of 0 and 16, their movement outside the home should be carried out under the supervision or with the consent of the parents or legal guardian. In the current epidemiological context, we recommend limiting these trips to a minimum.
🔴9. Question: If yes, who should complete the declaration on their own responsibility in the case of minors who have not turned 16 and, respectively, in the case of minors between 16-18 years old?
Answer: In the case of minors under 16, the declaration must be completed and signed by one of the parents or the legal guardian. Minors between the ages of 16 and 18 complete and sign the declaration on their own responsibility, indicating that they must respect the individual conditions of travel and that they are prohibited from participating in collective physical activities. Also, minors between the ages of 16 and 18 will also have identity documents on them.
🔴10. Question: Can I drive my wife to / from work?

As can be seen, the situations included in the norm are exemplary in nature, but they imply grounds of a certain importance.
Such a situation could be justified if there is no means of public transportation or if the risk of exposure to infection is higher (moving to the workplace would mean changing more means of public transportation, waiting times at stations, etc.) .
For the driver over 65 years of age it is advisable to avoid such trips outside the time period 11.00-13.00.
🔴11. Question: Can I bring my grandmother over the age of 65 from her home to our home address, which is located at a greater distance, in another county?
Answer: This possibility is provided by art. d of the Military Ordinance no.1.
If the trip to bring an elderly person (over 65 years) is done in order to be taken care of or to provide medical treatment, we recommend that this trip be done with a predilection during the time period 11-13 or not exceed very much much this interval. Watch out for speed!
🔴12. Question: Can I go out to pay my bills on utilities or bank rates, or sign contracts with a notary?

Answer: The provision of art.3 of the Military Ordinance no.3 concerns only the pedestrian displacement and not the public transport. However, it is important to comply with the general measures to prevent the spread of COVID 19, including by keeping a free seat between passengers.
