The number of patients seen at the hospital dropped by 206 in one day.

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

Another 2804 people were diagnosed with the new coronavirus infection, increasing the number of infected people identified in Hungary to 288,567.

Most of the 144 deaths are elderly, chronic patients, leaving 7,381 people dead in the epidemic.

So far, 83,940 people have been declared healed, 825 less the day before. The number of active infections was 197,246, an increase of 1,835 compared to the latest data.

18 percent of the actively infected, 21 percent of the dead and 23 percent of those recovered are from Budapest.

The hospital cares for 7,639 coronavirus patients, meaning 206 were able to leave the institutions last day. 574 patients required mechanical ventilation, a decrease of 23.

Currently, 42,467 are in official home quarantine and 2,406,171 tests have been carried out so far.

The third round of group-specific testing has also been completed. In recent weeks, a total of 430,000 rapid tests have been carried out among daycare, kindergarten, school, social, health, government and district office workers. Rapid tests were conducted with less than expected participation, with less than 2 percent of those present testing positive. Operational staff may decide to continue with specific group tests. Health and welfare institutions may still require rapid tests.
