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 was mostly between 50 and 100 in 24 hours. The first step is a partial closure, but how effective it is is questionable. Follow our news!

We have finalized and approved the vaccination plan – announced Viktor Orbán on Facebook. He also said that doctors, nurses and workers in intensive care units will receive the first vaccines.

Later, a mass vaccination will also begin, but the prime minister has not yet been able to say when. Regarding the type of vaccines that will be used for this purpose, Orbán said that it depends on the licensing procedures carried out by the authorities of the EU and Hungary. Currently, vaccines are also being negotiated in Western Europe, Russia, China and Israel for approval. The prime minister also added that mass vaccination will be voluntary and free.

He also reported that the digital version of the vaccine certificate was being reviewed because they were preparing to have one that was already protected, had been previously infected or had been vaccinated. Orbán has revealed a lot about the certificate: it was developed by the Ministry of the Interior.
