The number of confirmed coronavirus detainees in the Nagyfai section of Szeged prison has doubled since Monday, and those infected were transferred to the Tököl prison hospital.

On Monday, the RTL bulletin reported that there were 19 infected convicts and, by Tuesday, the number of those with a positive test had doubled. Positive test results were obtained in Nagyfai prison department and Szeged Prison, where 640 prisoners are serving their sentences, most of the prisoners are in Nagyfai compound with a prison and prison title. Prisoners do agricultural work here on the site, on several hectares, but they can also work elsewhere, the furniture factory, which is also operated by BVOP.

Just two weeks ago, the BVOP issued a statement saying that its institutions were prepared for the second wave of the epidemic, continued to disinfect periodically, and new entrants to prison were undergoing an epidemiological investigation. In addition, segregation was provided in the institutions and external contacts were supported by telephone to make up for the lack of personal contact with family members.
