 The highest mortality was in October 1813; the gravediggers couldn't even bury all the dead, and many of them were put in large pits, which were not covered and many "were eaten by dogs and other beasts".In February 1814, the last market still open, Târgul de Afară (Obor), was closed down, but soon the people returned to the city.In 1818 the quarantine hospitals of Plumbuita and Văcăreşti were closed down.
