Coronavirus – Mayor: Budapest needs ‘special rules’
Change language:
Budapest’s mayor, Gergely Karácsony, has said Budapest will need special rules in place to handle the heightened risk to the city’s residents in connection with the novel coronavirus epidemic.
Karácsony said on Facebook on Friday that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán had raised the need for special rules in the capital, and that he agreed with him. “There’s a greater risk in large cities everywhere in the world.”

“All over the world, information is being sharing between government, municipalities, and health authorities,” he added.
Citing Orbán’s pledge to create “the closest cooperation possible” with the municipality, Karácsony said Budapest awaited a “fundamental change in the current state of affairs”.
“Military action plans may be important, but it is time to come up with humanitarian action plans, too,” Karácsony said, adding that “there are mothers, fathers, grandparents, brothers and sisters, friends and neighbours behind such categories as ‘the infected’ or ‘the dead'”.
Hospital bed numbers mean “doctors, nurses, health and welfare workers that risk their lives to fight for patients and people needing their care”. “Let us not just see figures and statistics but human lives behind them,” he said.
