There are a number of diseases that predispose to contracting the virus, or even to a fatal outcome, Cecília Müller said at a press conference at the operational tribe on Thursday. The national chief physician recalled the data of the last 24 hours and
the restrictive measures, which for the latter, are expected to show an improvement in the number of infections two weeks after the start of hardening and an improvement in the number of deaths 4-5 weeks later.
He stressed that, in the meantime, the need for further measures would be discussed. The austerity measures introduced will also be reassessed next week.
Cecília Müller thanked everyone for following the rules and for making people more cooperative due to their knowledge. According to recent WHO research, he recalled, if we were to wear the mask at 95 percent, no more austerity measures would be needed. The workload at health centers remains high, with 7,532 people currently receiving treatment at the hospital, it added.
The national medical director also spoke about the rapid group tests that will begin on Friday and next week, which requires a “quite serious” logistical organization.
Due to extraordinary staffing needs, medical students also participate in testing.
He pointed. It is very important, continued the national medical director, that if someone turns out to be positive, they should notify the GP with their findings. It registers the infected person in the epidemiological system of the NNK, and then investigations by public health professionals can come, such as the investigation of contacts. Cecília Müller emphasized that the tests are voluntary and unpaid, but if someone does not want to undergo them, it is not necessary.
Cecília Müller also spoke about the fact that in addition to the coronavirus, the flu is also present at this time of year. The vaccine was shipped before and is now reviewed weekly to see if it is available everywhere. Based on this week’s data, only the adult doses have been settled, but there is a district in Budapest where additional demand has been announced, so two shipments have already been shipped, and there will be a third shipment next week. There was one county that indicated it did not need more vaccines, but if there was even more demand, there was also the possibility of redeployment.
