Tragic record in Hungary: 121 people died of the coronavirus in one day
Change language:
Fully 121 Covid patients, mostly elderly and suffering from an underlying illness, have died in the past 24 hours and coronavirus infections have risen by 4,397 to 170,298, koronavirus.gov.hu said on Saturday.
Altogether 3,689 Covid patients have died since the appearance of coronavirus in Hungary, while 40,820 have made a recovery. There are currently 125,789 active infections and 7,358 patients are in hospital, 599 on ventilators.
Fully 40,359 people are in official home quarantine, while the number of tests stands at 1,480,674.
Across Europe, in neighboring countries and in Hungary, the number of people infected is increasing, and more and more people are requesting hospital care. The epidemic cannot be stopped, the aim is to slow down the epidemic and protect the performance of hospitals. This is also the purpose of the new emergency protection measures.
On November 10, lawmakers extended the government’s special powers by 90 days, allowing the government to suspend the application of some legislation, diverge from legal provisions and take other extraordinary measures by decree.
A major new rule is that face masks must be worn in public spaces in localities with more than 10,000 residents, though it is up to local mayors to decide which spaces the rule applies to.
Not too long ago, Orbán said he measures the success of his government in the fight against Covid-19 based on the ( low ) number of deaths.
Now that the number of deaths is very high, is he going to measure his government’s failures?
Why does every country have to politicise Covid???
Gigi, you should write that to Orbán, who since the very first moment made Covid-19 something political, taking merits which were not his when Hungary had relatively low figures during first wave, and not taking any responsability now that number of deaths is escalating.
On the contrary, he does nothing but continously lying about the state of Health Care presenting it as excellent when we all know it is in fact dreadful ( “we are armed to the teeth ” were his words when secobd wave came… )
Not to speak oh tge Foreign Minister who proudly announced the Hu will rely on Russian and Chinese vaccines so not to rely on “Brussels” and when rebuked by “Brussels” accused the EU of making of politicizing Covid….
Fidesz govt politicians are nothing but a gang of liars and…worse
