Authorities in Romania’s capital say three COVID-19 patients died at a mobile intensive care unit after ventilators failed.
Five more patients from the same mobile ICU in Bucharest’s Victor Babes hospital were transferred to other hospitals to receive care.
An investigation has been opened as to why the ventilators failed.
In recent days, Romania has recorded its highest number of COVID-19 patients in ICUs since the pandemic began, which has put the Eastern European country’s strapped healthcare system under serious pressure.
