The new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) was detected in 1,791 new Hungarian citizens, thus increasing the number of infected people identified in Hungary to 44,816. 24 elderly, chronic patients have died, so the number of deaths has risen to 1,109 and 13,580 have already recovered, reports koronavirus.gov.hu.

The number of active infections is 30,127. 32% of the actively infected, 42% of the dead and 30% of those recovered are from Budapest. 1,693 coronavirus patients are being hospitalized, 185 of whom are on respirators.

The second wave of the epidemic is occurring in Hungary. The government’s goal is to keep the country running and not let the virus paralyze everyday life. However, this requires compliance with general precautions.

The virus is spreading dynamically across Europe, so border controls and entry restrictions are still in place, and the prime minister asked Hungarian families not to plan to ski abroad now.

Attention is drawn to the fact that the use of the mask is mandatory not only in shops and public transport, but also in cinemas, theaters, shopping centers, health and social care establishments and customer reception offices. After 23:00, restaurants and entertainment venues must be closed.

The protection of elderly and chronic patients is of the utmost importance. The elderly are also asked to pay more attention to themselves and general precautions. Visiting hospitals and nursing homes is prohibited. And nursing home owners should do everything they can to prevent infection. If a focal point takes place in a social institution or anywhere else in the community, the epidemiological deployment unit will take the necessary actions.
