Vaccine Laggard Romania Running Out of ICU Beds as Cases Peak

Romania is running out of beds in intensive-care units designated for patients suffering from the coronavirus as cases spike to a new daily record. 

The European Union’s second-least-vaccinated country had 1,480 patients in ICUs on Tuesday. It also reported more than 15,000 daily cases and over 250 deaths. 

Romania suspended all non-essential surgeries and medical procedures. Some 130 ICU beds are still reserved for potentially severe coronavirus cases.
