The largest number of new infections was reported in capital city Bucharest (40), Suceava (11) and Bacau, Buzau, Calarasi and Dolj (7 each), the ministry said.

Romania has extended its swine flu vaccination campaign to people suffering from chronic illnesses because all the AH1N1-related deaths in the country occurred in patients with such illnesses, Health Ministry state secretary Adrian Streinu Cercel said Wednesday.

Starting next week, family physicians will start vaccinating chronic patients over 16 who suffer from respiratory illnesses, diabetes, heart disease, cirrhosis, liver disease, HIV and also people with obesity.
