The number of newly identified infections remained below 1,300.

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 a day had been identified and the number of deaths from the virus mostly ranged from 50 to 100. The first step is partial closure, but how effective that is is questionable. Follow our news!

By Tuesday, 1,238 new people had been diagnosed with the new coronavirus infection, bringing the number of confirmed infections in Hungary to 306,368.

Since the previous data release, 180 coronavirus patients have died, bringing the death toll to 8,462.

An additional 5,714 people have recovered since Monday, reducing the number of active infections recorded by 4,656 to 189,230.

The hospital treats 7,124 coronavirus patients, 27 more than the previous day. Of these, 522 are connected to fans and their number has increased by 5.

A total of 2,528,225 coronavirus tests have been performed since the outbreak, the most recent 7,937.15.59 percent of the samples tested were positive. According to the recommendation of the World Health Organization (WHO), we get a reliable picture of the spread of the epidemic if up to 5 percent of the tests are positive. In Hungary, since September 9, this ratio has only been reached in the two days in which almost 200-200 thousand mass test tests were added at the same time.
