BUCHAREST, Jan 26 (Reuters) - The number of new coronavirus infections in Romania rose by a record high 34,255 in the past 24 hours, government data showed on Wednesday, but hospitalisations were still relatively low compared to the previous pandemic wave.
Ninety-four people died of the virus within the last 24 hours. The pandemic has killed 59,726 people in the European Union state of 20 million.
Romania is the EU's second-least vaccinated state, with roughly 41% of the population fully inoculated amid distrust of state institutions and poor vaccine education. (Reporting by Luiza Ilie)
