The number of deaths and registered patients has already exceeded 365,000 in the country.

Coronavirus: the second wave

Half a year after the spring outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, 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 signs, the second wave also reached Hungary. Follow our news!

In one day, 5,901 new patients were registered, carrying out more than 112,000 virus tests. This is the highest number since March 28, when the number of infected people was 5,974.

The number of new infections recorded per day was still below 1,000 on September 1 and just over 2,500 on October 1.

Currently, more than five thousand patients are treated in the hospital, 514 in the intensive care unit. The number of ventilator-connected patients increased by ten a day in the last week of September, by twenty a day in the first week of October, and then by thirty, and has now increased by sixty-four.

The daily death toll on Tuesday was 41, bringing the death toll to 36,246.

Counting the dead and recovered, the number of registered patients exceeded 365,000.

According to a statement from the Union of Hospital Doctors, with such an increase in the epidemic curve, in two months intensive care units with more than 11,000 places will be filled. In Rome, for example, institutions are already so overloaded that more patients are staying in hotels.

More than 77 percent of cases are due to a family infection.

The government has introduced restrictions for the first time since lifting the tough three-month restrictions in the spring. The provisions, which are still in effect for thirty days, include the closure of bars, cafes and discos at night at 9 p.m. to eliminate the crowds of young people in the streets. It is advised that in the homes there are no more than six people who do not live together. With this, they want to limit house parties, popular family gatherings, and guests.

Between late February and mid-May, the coronavirus epidemic spread almost exclusively in the northern part of the country. The curve of the epidemic is now rising across Italy: the majority of patients, more than a thousand, were examined in one day in the province of Lombardy, followed by southern Campania, where hospitals were already full.
