Romanian doctors, nurses and other personnel dealing with coronavirus cases will receive a monthly bonus of about 500 euros ($543.10) a month, President Klaus Iohannis said on Thursday. "I demanded the government to reroute European (Union) funding, to give a monthly bonus of 500 euros to front line personnel dealing with COVID infected patients. I am prepared to deliver solutions," Iohannis told a video briefing.
