The national medical director opened the briefing with a presentation of the latest epidemiological data. According to them, 1,555 are hospitalized and 167 of them with ventilators. Severe patients during their hospitalization often have rapid disease progression and may require a ventilator. Therefore, people with chronic illnesses should pay attention to themselves, he suggested.
He recalled that the government had decided to provide the flu vaccine free of charge to all citizens. The vaccine is now available in districts, GPs, and occupational physicians.
The national medical director asked those at high risk to seize the opportunity. Of course, the flu vaccine against the coronavirus does not provide protection, he stressed. However, the target organ of both viruses is the lower respiratory tract, so it is important to protect yourself against at least one.
There are groups that are at higher risk because of their work. We definitely want to protect them: health workers, health care workers, social assistance workers, public service workers (government officials, public order workers, transportation workers) who are exposed to a lot of contact during their work and therefore can become more easily infected.
In recent days, we have also heard that a nasal spray against coronavirus is spreading. This is an aerosol in the experimental stage, but it is under investigation, it is being tested under laboratory conditions, but its effect has not yet been clinically proven. For this reason, I warn everyone not to use it too often and not at all, as it is an antiallergic spray that is still pending tests from the point of view of efficacy, explained Cecília Müller.
On the contrary, we can harm you. If such a spray is used too often, the nasal mucosa dries out and this provides a favorable basis for the colonization of pathogens.
he warned.
The Money Center reported a separate article on the active ingredient found in certain nasal sprays.

- Uzsoki Street Hospital
- Péterffy Hospital and
- Pest Flór Ferenc County Hospital.

In another answer he said Currently, therapeutic preparations against coronavirus can only be used in one institution. Some of them are not even registered as their research is in the clinical phase. They can only be used for controlled purposes. Under no circumstances should you buy such a drug online, but if you find one, we will also ask for a report because these unknown drugs can cause serious harm to health, he explained.
He asked the public not to buy a quick test online.
It is not self-diagnosing, these tests are for institutional use, he added.
