Coronavirus – the second year

More than a year has passed since the Chinese authorities informed the WHO of the emergence of a new, rapidly spreading virus. Since then, there has hardly been a person in the world who has not heard the term Covid-19, and more and more people are mourning a family member or friend with whom the new disease has ended while stocks have run out. collapsed in weeks and our entire lives have been rewritten by the epidemic. By now, the vaccines have been completed, which in turn raises not only hope, but again many questions, while not only stopping the virus, but also threatening another mutation. You can find the details of this fight in our series of articles.

The number of victims of the coronavirus in Hungary increased by 195. Along with them, 17,421 people have already died from complications of the virus. There have never been so many deaths in one day as now, the lowest point so far was on December 5, 2020, with 193 victims of the coronavirus.

The hospital cares for 10,284 people, 440 more than a day ago. 1,167 of them are connected to fans, 100 more than a day before. Both data are the worst since the outbreak began.

Only 3,456 new infections were diagnosed, which is very few compared to the last few days, but also very few, with only 13,649 tests performed (so few tests were last reported on March 1), which means that the 25.3 percent of the tests performed were positive. Due to fluctuations in data provision within a week, this is generally worth comparing to the number from a week earlier: 8,312 new infections were added to the statistics last Wednesday, but now it can also be distorting as even Test results from a long weekend can now be included in the data.

Meanwhile, 2,382 people were classified as recovered, bringing the number of active cases from 879 to 156,096. This is the highest number this year, the last time New Year’s Eve had a higher number of active cases.

Vaccination data shows that vaccinations were resumed on Tuesday after a long weekend. Yesterday 50,269 people were vaccinated, the highest number since last Friday, a total of 1,397,342. The number of people who had already received both doses increased from 7,241 to 406,746.
