Zoltán Kovács, Secretary of State for Communications and International Relations, has uploaded a photo to Facebook showing that 93 people have died in Hungarian care homes due to the coronavirus so far. Of these, 64 died in nursing homes in the capital.
According to information this morning, 13 chronic elderly patients who died in one day in Hungary. This increased the number of deaths to a total of 405. According to previous official government information, all that was known was that the number of deaths in the nursing home in Pesti út was 42 and that 305 people served were infected.
So far, a total of 3,213 people have been diagnosed with the coronavirus in Hungary.
“The epidemic is more frequent in nursing homes in the capital,” writes Zoltán Kovács. Mayor Gergely Karácsony previously requested information from the government on the spread of the epidemic:
Mayor Gergely Karácsony is asking the government to send and / or publish epidemic data on Budapest, because “no one outside the government has known this data so far. However, it would be very necessary. Because, I think, something is very wrong here”, wrote Facebook Christmas Page yesterday.
He called it a great irresponsibility for nursing home residents that the government office still banned and described the evaluation of patients transferred from the hospital as an “unnecessary cost” in March, and the government sent an inexplicably large proportion of patients to hospitals. There is no significant answer to why since then, he stressed, adding that this move may have something to do with coronavirus infections in the hospital, as 15 percent of those infected are hospital workers.
The government certainly knows how much of the disease has developed in hospitals. I hope we can get to know this data once, as according to the information so far, the coronavirus epidemic in Hungary is spreading mainly and mainly in and from hospitals, the mayor attracted attention.
According to Zoltán Kovács, however, it is obvious from the data from the past few weeks that, unfortunately, the epidemic is more prevalent in nursing homes in the capital, which he believes is the fault of Christmas.
