The makers and distributors of fake news will be personally responsible for potential deaths and economic damage to be caused by the imminent fourth wave of the coronavirus pandemic, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Tuesday after a meeting of foreign ministers from five central European countries.

The key to combatting the threat of a fourth wave is to achieve the highest possible level of vaccination in the population, he told MTI.

The foreign ministers of the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Slovenia and Slovakia agreed at the meeting held in Mělník that they would set up a group to coordinate measures and the fight against the epidemic.
