Wearing of Masks Recommended by Hungarian Health Expert

• Hungary Around the Clock

“I recommend the wearing of face masks; we have reached a period when this could be important in closed spaces and on public transport both for the inoculated and those not inoculated” senior National Health Centre official Ágnes Galgóczi said yesterday.

She said that data on the coronavirus and trace levels in sewage water indicate that stricter protected measures are justified.

The number of infected people rose by 150% and it continues to rise rapidly.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s recent remarks on the topic suggest that masks are ineffective, at a time when more and more experts argue that they should be made mandatory in some public places, Telex reports.
