Healthcare Minister Pintea says flu death toll reaches 81

Healthcare Minister Sorina Pintea announced on Tuesday that the flu death toll in Romania reached 81.

"The latest fatality is a two-year old boy with preexisting medical conditions, probably unvaccinated," Healthcare Minister Pintea stated.

The Minister pointed out that the flu "likes the cold."
