A letter was also written to two ministers saying that urgent action was needed.

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!

The Hungarian Medical Chamber wrote a letter to Sándor Pintér, Minister of the Interior, and Miklós Kásler, Minister of Human Resources, demanding that

  • encourages everyone to wear a mask,
  • suspend massive events,
  • try more
  • have an active government presence and set an example in communication,
  • take strong action against virus deniers and epidemic skeptics,
  • prepare the health care system for effective management of the epidemic.

Our deepest professional belief is that in light of the latest figures signaling the start of another wave of catastrophic threats, immediate and effective action is needed by the government.

– wrote the Chamber, which called for the strengthening of community prevention and the preparation of the health system. According to the panel, local rather than total measures are needed in high-risk areas and institutions.

Aware that economic interest cannot be totally subordinated to epidemiological considerations, we do not believe that the above measures can be postponed, and we ask for the help of our decision makers and the cooperation of the population.

The Human Resources Ministry announced on Friday that Minister Miklós Kásler had instructed hospitals to double the number of beds that are kept free for coronavirus patients.
