The number of people who died in one day decreased significantly. The number of active cases increased by 1,153.

Coronavirus: the second wave, the second closure

Later than expected by many, but in mid-November, the Hungarian government also decided to try to curb the second wave of the coronavirus epidemic by introducing restrictions. At the time of the decision, 5,000 new infections had been identified per day and the number of deaths from the virus mostly ranged from 50 to 100 in 24 hours. The first step is partial closure, but how effective it is is questionable. Follow our news!

There have been 116 more victims of the coronavirus in the last day, the epidemiological information website said. Along with them, the number of deaths increased to 5,984.

The number of deaths began to increase dramatically last week, already exceeding 190 per day. By the weekend, however, the situation improved a bit. The number now reported is the lowest since November 25.

3,870 new infections were diagnosed, 2,827 fewer than a day ago and 2,601 people were classified as recovered, an increase of 1,315 people.

thus, the number of active cases increased from 1,153 to 173,881.

The last time so few new cases were identified was on November 24.

On the last day, 21,424 tests were performed, which means that 18.06 percent of the tests were positive. According to the recommendation of the World Health Organization, the tests provide a reliable picture of the status of the epidemic in a country if a maximum of 5 percent of the tests are positive. We have been able to meet this criteria in a single day since 9 September.

A total of 7,932 people are treated in hospitals, 223 more than a day before, and there were not as many in the hospital on any day of the epidemic. Of these, 674 are connected to a fan, 18 more than a day ago.
