120,115 is the number of active infected, 8,270 patients are hospitalized, 833 of them are on ventilators. 

Vaccination is ongoing, 1047045 people have been vaccinated, of which 314485 have already received their second vaccination. We are in the ascending branch of the third wave of the epidemic, with an increasing number of active infected and hospitalized patients, which is why the government has decided to tighten the restrictions that came into effect on Monday.

The vaccination program is going well, on schedule, Hungary is already second in the EU vaccination ranking. GPs and hospital vaccines are constantly vaccinating registered seniors.

AstraZeneca has already been shipped for GP vaccinations in the following days, and today Sputnik and Pfizer arrive at hospital vaccinations. Vaccination of chronic patients under the age of 60 postponed last weekend with AstraZeneca will be held at hospital vaccination points in the second half of the week.

The third wave of the coronavirus epidemic across Europe is proving stronger than ever.

Due to the drastically rising number of patients, the government has decided to tighten the restrictions, which came into force today. It must now be closed so that the country can reopen as soon as possible. That’s why we decided on a two-week tightening in the hopes of being able to restart life at Easter.
