According to Cecília Müller, the epidemic is being successfully treated in Hungary compared to the rest of the world. So far, 378 have agreed to download a phone app to verify quarantine compliance.

coronavirus pandemic

The number of people infected with the coronavirus in the world already exceeds three million, more than two hundred thousand have lost their lives to the disease and the economic impact of the epidemic is invaluable. We try to inform our readers about everything, stay tuned, read our series of articles.

Eight patients died last day, bringing the death toll to 421. 25 have been cured, so 958 people are already cured. A further 21 infected were found and a new type of coronavirus was detected in a total of 3,284 people since the outbreak began. 3908 samples were taken in one day, to date a total of 112,165 cases have been tested. As usual, it was not published how many people were evaluated.

Currently, thirty fewer coronavirus patients are hospitalized thirty fewer than a day earlier, and eight fewer than the previous day, 42 are on ventilators. There are 10,955 people in official household quarantine, 599 more than a day ago.

Lt. Col. Robert Kiss began Monday’s tribal briefing by saying that since May 7, 378 people in official quarantine have agreed to install an app on their phones to verify. Today, 10955 ordered the official household quarantine is in effect. Compliance with curfew restrictions was also verified over the weekend, Kiss said.

Cecília Müller recalled that the first patient with coronavirus was registered in early March, since then the epidemic has been constantly monitored, and the curve shows that the number of new confirmed infections has increased week by week, but now a common result is that in Hungary is successfully managing the epidemic compared to the rest of the world, as restrictive measures have managed to keep the virus under control.

Müller said he had now managed to take a breather.

A more detailed analysis of the deceased was also performed. Of the 421 deaths, 198 were over the age of 80 and only three belonged to the age group of 30 to 39 years.

So far 67 infected people are known, under the age of 18, several of whom have already recovered, there are no deaths among them and they have not suffered any permanent damage to health. Two children are infected today and their condition is satisfactory.

Regarding Budapest and Pest County, Müller said that if we subtract the number of patients treated in hospitals and social institutions from the total number of patients, he still has the most infected, but did not mention the exact number. He also said that each deceased room is from a nursing home. To date, the number of coronavirus deaths in nursing homes has increased to 100. Of the 100 deaths, 74 died in a nursing home in Budapest, 65 of them in a nursing home maintained by the Budapest Municipality and 26 in a rural nursing home. The most infected nursing home is the Pesti út nursing home, where the death toll has already been 42 and coronavirus infection has been confirmed in 305 residents. In addition to the 100 dead, there are 118 recovered.

questions

When can the short circuit be lifted in the Tatabánya hospital? According to Müller, “we are evolving”. The hospital medical director obtained a list of what I do to isolate myself in the hospital. But the on-site inspection is still overdue, at which point they will ensure that the hospital can receive new patients.

Is there a lot of rape? Nearly half a million quarantine inspections were carried out, with just over 1,000 people violating the rules.

How long does it take for someone to accumulate in a hospital? Anyone who goes to the hospital but still has milder symptoms will recover within 1-2 weeks. Those who are in a more severe condition but are not on a respirator may have up to 5 weeks to recover.

Busy with the GP, unreachable by phone. That patience and perseverance can be done ”, said Müller.

If someone lives in the country but is transported to Budapest and loses his life here, where does it matter? Rural or deceased capital? They are registered by address.

The question in our article was: what are the experiences of the first week of rural opening, how much has the number of infected people increased outside the institutions? It’s only been a week, they’re looking with vulgar eyes, Müller said, waiting 14 days. “So far, I can say that the number of new infections is declining steadily and gradually.” These signs are encouraging, he added.

Have Christmas questions come up for the tribe asking about the data in the capital? Not until this morning.

At Wednesday’s government meeting, they will decide whether to ease the restrictions in the capital and Pest County.

We send the following questions to the tribe:

  • How many patients are treated in a hospital that is not an epidemiological hospital?
  • Why should all seriously ill patients be transported to Budapest?
  • How many patients in the capital did not receive the virus in a nursing home?
  • How many of the deceased in the capital and Pest County lived in a nursing home or other social institution, and how typical is the deceased to die of a coronavirus? Where were new infections found in this region this week (within an institution or in a separate location)?
  • Is it still considered necessary to maintain 60 percent of hospital beds for coronavirus cases? In relation to this, could it arise that any of those previously sent to the hospital?
  • What are your experiences in the first week of rural opening, how much has the number of infected people increased outside the institutions?
