The population is running out of patience with restrictive measures to curb the coronavirus epidemic, but all adhere to stricter hygiene rules, the national medical director said in a statement to public media on Sunday, emphasizing that all ages and individuals have a responsibility.
Cecília Müller said in a statement at the doctor’s office in Nagyyvenyim that
the coronavirus epidemic is increasing at a rapid rate, with the number of patients doubling every 11 to 14 days.
He added that there has been a very dynamic increase across Europe, with the healthcare system almost reaching the limit of its performance in many countries.
The dynamics of the second wave of the epidemic is also extremely intense in Hungary, exponentially, that is, the number of infected people is increasing every day. This is because a person infected with coronavirus can transmit the disease to more people.
MTI Müller writes, quoting Cecilia. The chief physician stressed that isolating those infected is extremely important to prevent the spread of the epidemic. He highlighted, 4,673 new infections have been registered in the last 24 hours, the number of laboratory tests reaches 20 thousand per day.
The infection has been detected in 109,616 people since the beginning of the epidemic, and today 5,803 people are being treated in the hospital, 417 with a ventilator.
Cecília Müller said. The Medical Director confirmed that non-urgent interventions to maintain the functioning of the health care system and the availability of a sufficient number of hospital beds will be postponed.
The medical director said reducing the number of infections is a main goal and asked everyone to adhere to stricter hygiene rules.
According to the medical director, everyone should follow a “healthy defensive instinct,” part of which is not going where it is not necessary.
Cecília Müller also recommended the use of outdoor masks in cases where it is not possible to maintain a distance of one and a half meters between people, and it is also called a greeting with a handshake and a kiss to avoid this.
He also recommended regular exercise, proper nutrition, indoor ventilation, and flu shots.
The chief physician also noted that the rapid antigen-based test, which is suitable for diagnostic purposes but not suitable for mass screening, fails to detect infection in many cases and creates a false sense of security.
