The number of newly infected people is 9,055, which has increased the number of infected people identified to a total of 670,776 since the beginning of the epidemic, according to the government information page.
Most of the 267 deaths were chronically elderly patients, bringing the number of deaths to 21,262. The number of recovered people is constantly increasing, currently 413,370 people, but the number of actively infected people has already risen to 236,144 people. 11,747 coronavirus patients are hospitalized, 1,467 of whom are connected to ventilators. The vaccination program is in order, Hungary ranks second in the EU vaccination ranking. Vaccination coverage of the Hungarian population reached 21.2% compared to the EU average of 11.9%. Due to their vulnerability, vaccinations of registered seniors are still at the top of the line, and 81% of those over 65 registered so far have already been vaccinated. The vaccination will continue during the Easter holidays. Hospital vaccination points receive vaccinations organized by family doctors, and family doctors who also vaccinate during holidays are entitled to an additional payment. Extraordinary vaccinations of previously registered kindergarten and school teachers continue to be administered at hospital vaccination points. More than three thousand registered people living in small settlements have already received vaccinations with military vaccines. In the afternoon another shipment of AstraZeneca arrived, which is already delivered to GPs through government offices during the Easter holidays, so that they can continue vaccinating with it.
The third wave of the coronavirus epidemic in Europe is proving stronger than ever. Due to the drastic increase in the number of patients, the government has strengthened protection measures. Key safeguards in place:
- The use of a mask is mandatory on all streets and public areas within the residential area.
- If possible, keep a protective distance of at least 1.5 meters from the other person.
- Work is possible, but whenever possible we recommend working from home. In the state administration, work from home can be ordered, except those that contribute to defense.
- The evening curfew remains in effect between 8:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. A case of exemption from the curfew is work, which, however, must be justified.
- To protect against the coronavirus, the curfew will take effect from November 11 between 8:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. The exemption is possible in the case of work, but must be justified.
- Stores must close. Exceptions: grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations, drugstores, tobacconists, shops selling materials and equipment essential for economic, agricultural and forestry activity, as well as shops selling pet food, animal feed, the market and the farmers market. .
- All services are suspended, except private health, social, financial, postal and vehicle services.
- Take out purchases are still available in restaurants.
- Kindergartens and elementary schools will not be open until the end of spring break, and interested ministers will determine the content conditions for digital education. At the request of local governments, childcare should be provided in kindergartens and schools. Digital education in secondary schools and higher education continues to exist. Due to low infection rates, the nurseries do not close.
- Outdoor sports are possible where a distance of one and a half meters can be maintained. Training of certified athletes is allowed, matches are only possible behind closed doors.
- Border crossings will be reinforced, but the transit and traffic of goods will not be restricted.
- Wage subsidies and tax breaks will be extended to sectors that need to close.
- The police strictly monitor compliance with the rules, impose fines and close places where regulations are not followed. Soldiers support the work of police officers in various cities across the country and ease the burden on health workers at the hospital.
Only vaccination is the way out of the epidemic. Since the start of the third wave, the number of registrants has increased by another million, but there are still many who have not applied. Seniors are especially asked for those who have not yet done so to register for vaccination on the website www.vakcinainfo.gov.hu. Vaccination is ongoing, with 2,156,680 people vaccinated, of which 863,195 have already received their second vaccine.
