A huge fire broke out, on Saturday evening, at a hospital treating coronavirus patients in Romania. They controlled the fire after about one hour.
At least 10 patients, infected with Coronavirus, died and 7 are badly injured in the fire, according to the hospital spokeswoman Irina Bubba.
Romania's Health Minister Nelu Tataru told local media the fire was "most likely triggered by a short circuit".
One doctor, who tried to rescue patients , is believed to be in a critical condition after suffering serious burns.
"There are other medical staff who suffered burns, not only the doctor on duty," Tataru added, noting that he was heading to Piatra Neamt following the incident.
