Fire at Romanian COVID-19 hospital kills seven people

Video footage showed patients jumping out of windows from the hospital's lower levels and firefighters carrying people out. The country's emergency response unit had initially said nine people had died, but Transport Minister Lucian Bode later said there had been a miscommunication between firefighters and hospital staff.
