Romanian health minister removed for failure to tackle COVID-19 pandemic

Romanian health minister was removed from his post for his failure to tackle ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Florin Citu, the prime minister of the country, said on Wednesday he has fired Health Minister Vlad Voiculescu after weeks of mounting tensions over how to handle the new coronavirus pandemic, potentially endangering the centre-right coalition government, reports Reuters.

Deputy Prime Minister Dan Barna has been appointed interim health minister, Citu said in a statement.
