The yellow code targeting the two counties will be issued Friday afternoon, Boc added. The yellow and orange code alert valid for the rest of the counties will be lifted, he said.

Tulcea and Constanta were under an orange code advisory for heavy snowfall and blizards until Friday at noon.

Boc warned temperatures will drop to minus 20 degrees Celsius starting tonight and pointed out that nearly 200 localities are still facing electricity supply problems.

The Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (IGSU) announced Friday that 100 people are still trapped in 88 snowed-in cars and 576 other people are currently in shelters.
