Coronavirus: Cases Rise To 1652, With 142 Deaths In Hungary
The number of confirmed people infected with the coronavirus in Hungary now stands at 1,652.

The number of deaths stands at 142, while the number of those recovered now stands at 199.

Hungary is now in the phase of cluster infections, when the virus spreads via social interaction. The disease can therefore be present anywhere. It’s vital for everyone to stay home and observe the recommendations and movement restrictions, especially elderly people, students and those who have returned from abroad.

The citizens of Budapest are especially asked to abide by the restrictions, as the capital has the highest number of infected.

As the data on the deceased has shown, the coronavirus is the most dangerous for the elderly. Elderly citizens are therefore especially asked to stay at home and request help from their relatives or the municipality with shopping. 

In mandatory home quarantine: 12,737
Recovered: 199
Deceased: 142
