The epidemic has arrived at a rest point which is confirmed by the fact that in the past twenty-four hours there have been no significant changes in the epidemic data, the Chief Medical Officer is quoted on the Hungarian government's website.
Speaking at the Thursday online press conference of the Operational Group responsible for the containment of the coronavirus epidemic, Cecília Müller said since the beginning of the epidemic, there have been 3,954 confirmed coronavirus infections in Hungary; in the past 24 hours, the number of infections has risen by 23 – around as many as observed in the last few days.
She added that the number of fatalities had risen by 5 to 539, while the number of recovered patients had increased to 2,205. The number of recovered patients is almost double the number of active infections currently standing at 1,210.
She also said simultaneously with the cessation of the state of danger on June 20, the measures introduced in the interest of the elderly and those living in closed communities will change, and the visiting ban in social institutions will be partially lifted.
In this regard, she said this means that it will be possible to visit residents and patients living in elderly care homes and all other social care institutions, subject to the maintenance of maximum safety. Only healthy family members will be allowed to visit, they will be required to wear face masks, and at entrances hand sanitizers will have to be provided. If there is more than one resident in a room, only one visitor will be allowed to be present on the premises at any one time.
