Coronavirus: the second wave

Half a year after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in the spring, the second wave of the pandemic has arrived. The radical increase in the number of infected is forcing more and more countries to re-impose restrictions, despite the fact that the world economy has not even recovered from the effects of the spring outbreak. According to the posters, the second wave also reached Hungary. Follow our news!

On Thursday, another 459 Hungarian citizens were diagnosed with the new coronavirus infection, increasing the number of confirmed to 7,382, according to the government website.

An 82-year-old chronic patient died, bringing the death toll to 621.

3,944 people have been declared healed so far.

The number of active infections was 2,817, 444 more than a day ago.

It was noted on the site that 44 percent of those actively infected, 60 percent of the dead and 42 percent of those recovered were from Budapest.

The hospital treated 120 coronavirus patients on Thursday, 8 of whom were hooked up to a ventilator.

There were 14,619 people in official home quarantine, more than on Wednesday than on Wednesday.

In the last day, 7,091 laboratory tests have been performed, a total of 452,138 since the outbreak began.

As the data on new infections warn, the epidemic is not over, the number of active infections is increasing again, so discipline, entry restrictions and adherence to general hygiene rules remain very important. At the government meeting on Friday, as Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced in his usual radio interview, he will reassess the epidemiological situation.

To curb social spread, the information page wrote, we will continue to avoid places where there are a lot of people inside, preferably maintaining a social distance, washing our hands frequently and thoroughly, wearing a mask in stores and on public transport. Anyone who has been ordered to have an official home quarantine for a stay abroad or for any other reason must strictly comply. Anyone with symptoms should not go into the community but stay home and notify their GP by phone. By adhering to all of this, we can prevent the spread of infection and the introduction of additional restrictive measures.
