A record number of new infections have been recorded in Hungary, but no one has died from a coronavirus infection in the past day.

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!

The new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) was detected in 292 new Hungarian citizens, increasing the number of infected people identified in Hungary to 5,961, reported the official information page of koronavirus.gov.hu.

The number of 292 cases is a record in the national history of the epidemic, as the highest number so far was 210 new infections, which were recorded in April.

The former editorial office of index.hu has essentially ceased to exist, the country has lost its most read online interface. This is one of the most serious blows to the independent Hungarian press and freedom of information to date. The number of independent power editorial boards is steadily declining, and those that still exist are trying to stay afloat in a growing headwind. At HVG, we persevere, not giving in to pressure to bring in national and international news every day.

That is why we ask you, our readers, to support us, support us, join our membership and renew it!
