Later than expected by many, but in mid-November, the Hungarian government also decided to try to curb the second wave of the coronavirus epidemic by introducing restrictions.

Professor Johnson and Sir Patrick Vallance, the UK government’s chief scientific adviser, emphasized at a press conference in Downing Street that no study indicated changes that would make the new coronavirus mutation more likely to cause more serious illness than previous versions. that vaccines developed so far would be less effective against the new strain.
