Coronavirus: the second wave

Half a year after the spring outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, 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!

The new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) was detected in 3,149 new Hungarian citizens, increasing the number of infected people in the country to 59,247, the government information page wrote.
