The number of infected people continues to grow across Europe, in neighboring countries and in Hungary, with more and more people seeking hospital care. The epidemic cannot be stopped, the goal is to stop the epidemic and protect the performance of hospitals. This is the purpose of the announced emergency protection measures. The government, operational personnel, and epidemiological authority constantly monitor the epidemiological situation, and depending on the development of the epidemic, decisions are made on the recommendations and rules for the holidays.

In order to curb the spread of the community, we will continue to avoid places where there are many people indoors, preferably keep social distance, wash our hands frequently and thoroughly. Anyone who has received an official home quarantine order for a stay abroad or for any other reason must strictly comply. Anyone with symptoms should not go into the community but stay home and notify their GP by phone.

Free flu vaccines are already being given as part of health protection. The provision of influenza vaccines to GPs is ongoing.

The protection of elderly and chronic patients is of the utmost importance. Older people are also asked to pay close attention to themselves and general precautions.
