A family doctor in the town of Miercurea Ciuc in Romania's historic Transylvania region says many COVID patients are self-treating at home because they don't want to go to local hospitals. Marton Bokor, a former hospital director and ethnic Hungarian, says patients are renting oxygen equipment and buying medicines from abroad. He explains that it is because some hospitals don't have enough medicines, masks, and ventilators.
