Viktor Orbán’s Facebook page posted a video of the operational staff meeting in which the first speaker, Interior Minister Sándor Pintér, “informed” the prime minister of 6,440 new coronavirus patients.

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

We received a response as to why Interior Minister Sándor Pintér spoke about two thousand (6440) daily infections at the operational staff meeting early Friday morning that was announced on koronavirus.gov.hu.

The Communication Department of the Interior Ministry wrote to hvg.hu that the number of newly confirmed daily infections today was 4,440, the data cited by Pintér was just a language stumble.

By the way, according to the video, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s eyes did not blink when he heard the incorrect data.
