This means that, taking into account the underdetections, the number of virus carriers in Hungary can be around 200,000.
The number of severe cases is also steadily increasing, but they are still far from the high point of the first wave, even though the second phase of the epidemic is stronger. Experts still see the reason for this in the fact that in the second wave, the virus is spreading among young people who lead a more active lifestyle.
