Furthermore, the quoted source mentions that the mission to decontaminate and disinfect the roads in Suceava has been completed. In Timisoara, the assembly of the Medical Modular System for Isolation and Treatment has been completed, and in Suceava, the military team at the "Sfantul Ioan cel Nou" Hospital has handed over the management of the institution to the civilian managerial team, selected by the medical council of the hospital.
