In the last 7 days, an average of 5,599 new infections per day have been recorded in Hungary, fortunately the current number of 3951 cases is significantly lower, but we cannot speak of a downward trend at the moment.
The number of deaths has averaged 138 per day for the past week, a clear upward trend so far, and the current 154 deaths only reinforce this. This is the second highest death toll since Sunday 156.
The number of cured people is constantly increasing, currently 64,802 people, the number of actively infected people is 151,294 people. It took three and a half weeks to double the number of active infections. However, the poor reliability of the data is demonstrated by the fact that 151,000 active infections exceeded the number of new cases registered throughout November.
7,884 coronavirus patients are hospitalized, 662 of whom are on ventilators. The number of people in the hospital and on the ventilator doubled in one month. It is not yet a decline, we can only speak of a slowdown in growth.
20% of the actively infected, 23% of the dead and 25% of those recovered are from Budapest.
In the last week, most of the new infections were registered in Budapest, Pest county and Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county.
The positivity rate for tests done in the last 24 hours is still extremely high at 69%. The explanation for the absurd data may be the same as in the previous days: positive cases from the national rapid testing program are counted among the registered cases, but the number of tests performed does not include (or contains only a very small part) of rapid tests.
