The new coronavirus is a highly contagious virus, the latest Omicron variant we are facing at this time being the most contagious of the strains so far. More than two years after the advent of COVID-19, there are still a large number of illnesses every day. Due to its potential spread, SARS-CoV-2 has undergone numerous mutations, leading to the emergence of the Omicron strain and, with it, to the fifth wave of infections. There is already strong evidence that the new variant of the disease is spreading much faster than Delta. At the same time, scientists point out that the Omicron strain can infect not only people who have already had COVID-19, but also those who have completed the full vaccination schedule. The BA.2, also known as “Invisible Omicron”, was also highlighted, a variant much more contagious than the original form of Omicron (BA.1). It has already begun to take the place of the original stem and spread very rapidly in Europe and Asia. From the data collected so far, scientists cannot confirm whether Omicron infection causes a more severe form of disease or whether the symptoms associated with Omicron are different from the other variants of the virus. However, it has been observed that the Omicron strain and subvariant BA.2 respectively have a higher spread in young people than previous variants. Unfortunately, the emergence of subvariant BA.2 opens up the possibility of a sixth wave of illness or prolongation of the current wave. Even if the forms of the disease are not severe in all cases, there is a possibility that they may develop serious complications over time and therefore the health units must be prepared for a large wave of infections and possible complications of the disease. The emergence of this new coronavirus has caused an unprecedented health crisis in the last two years and the death of a large number of people globally and in European Union countries, including Romania. Given that the limitation of the spread of the virus and its extremely serious effects on the population of Craiova can be achieved only by ensuring the availability of medical equipment and devices, as well as facilities and equipment to ensure the protection and safety of patients and medical personnel, it is necessary to modernise the medical infrastructure and to equip the network of public health units in Craiova, including the Craiova Clinical Hospital of Neuropsychiatry, in order to obtain a result that is defined by timely and efficient response of the public medical system in Craiova to the COVID-19 crisis. Because the Clinical Hospital of Neuropsychiatry Craiova has been designated a support hospital for patients tested positive or suspect with SARS-COV-2 virus for neurology and psychiatry, hospital
