A team of 5 doctors and 9 nurses accompanied by two representatives of the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (IGSU) will travel to Bratislava for a 21-day mission to help the Slovakian medical authorities fight the Covid-19 pandemic, the government said in a release on Sunday. Romania responds to the request for international assistance from the Slovakian authorities. This response represents the concrete solution of the European Union s solidarity with the member states. The Slovakian medical authorities now need help more than ever, and our message is simple - the Slovakian health workers must not be left alone in this lopsided fight against this invisible enemy; you are not alone, the cited release reads.
