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!

With the detection of the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in 484 people on Saturday, the number of infected people identified in Hungary rose to 12,309, according to the government website.

Four people died from the virus-induced COVID-19 disease last day: a 70-year-old man and a 67-year-old man, a 90-year-old man and a 92-year-old woman. The death toll from the epidemic rose to 637 with them.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán spoke on Saturday night about the need to be prepared for a further increase in the number of infected. According to him, the effectiveness of the control can now be measured by how many lives can be saved, that is, how many of those infected die from the disease.
