Coronavirus infection was detected in another 292 people, increasing the number of infected people in Hungary to 5,961, read on koronavirus.gov.hu. The death toll was unchanged at 614 and 3,759 had already recovered. The number of active infected people is 1588 people. 41 percent of the actively infected, 60 percent of the dead and 42 percent of those recovered were in Budapest.
A total of 90 coronavirus patients are treated in the hospital, 7 of whom are connected to ventilators.
The change in attitude towards the coronavirus is well illustrated by the fact that on March 11 the government declared a state of emergency, closed borders, banned sporting events and major community events, and ordered the closure of universities and later the closure of schools on March 13. , when the number of new cases per day was only 3.
Viktor Orbán said on Saturday morning after the meeting of the operative tribe: by closing the borders again, we will be able to prevent the increase of contagions brought from abroad. According to the prime minister, it is still time to stop the second wave of knocking on our door.
40 percent of the actively infected, 60 percent of the dead and 42 percent of those recovered are from Budapest. As the data on new infections warns, the epidemic is not over, the number of active infections is increasing again, so it is still very important to maintain discipline, entry restrictions and general hygiene rules, read koronavirus.gov. hu.
The second wave of the epidemic has begun in Europe, so from September 1 the conditions for entry from abroad will be hardened again. According to the Statutes, foreign citizens cannot enter the territory of Hungary, and Hungarian citizens returning from abroad are required to have an official home quarantine of 14 days.
It is difficult to find an explanation why, under these circumstances, the government will not cancel the final of the European Super Cup Sevilla-Bayern Munich announced for the Puskás Arena on September 24. so thousands of foreigners are expected. Gergely Gulyás said in Government Info on Friday: Fans and players can only come to Hungary if they have a negative coronavirus test and are taken directly from the airport to the stadium. Only a third of the 64,000 stadiums can be filled at UEFA’s discretion, so only one in three seats will be sold. There will be strict rules and it is not even safe for fans to be in the stadium, Gulyás said on the ATV issue. The infectologist János Slavik also told ATV that it is a bit steep to hold such a massive event, But if the rules are followed, he thinks he will make it.
