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!

The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was manufactured in Puurs, Belgium, and is the first approved vaccine in Europe. The shipment, containing 9,750 doses of vaccine, will be shipped from South Pest Central Hospital to the other national vaccination points. This will allow the vaccination of 4,875 health workers.

The shipment crossed the Hegyeshalom border at 6 am Saturday. From there, he was approached by the police.
