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 a partial closure, but how effective it is is questionable. Follow our news!

The night curfew due to the coronavirus epidemic will begin two hours earlier, at 6 p.m., in 15 counties in eastern France, a government spokesman said. In 80 percent of the country, the ban begins at 8 p.m.

“The virus continues to spread in France, but it varies by region,” Gabriel Attal said on commercial TV TF1 on Friday. He also indicated that the government would review the restrictions in the counties in question within a week.

A government spokesman on Friday ruled out the possibility of cultural institutions reopening on January 7, in line with the original idea.

According to the Health Ministry, the number of daily infections has approached 20,000 again in recent days, which is less than the 5,000 established by the government before the November quarantine.

The hospital treats 24,440 infected people, 2,634 of whom are in serious condition, both numbers stagnant, but authorities expect a slow increase after the year-end holidays. Half of the beds in intensive care units are infected with coronavirus, but the rate is 80 percent in eastern regions. Since the outbreak, 64,632 have died in France, 252 in the last 24 hours.
