Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in a radio interview said his calculations regarding the plan to have more than two million Covid recoveries and vaccine recipients within six months were based on vaccine shipments that were “highly likely” to be received, adding that the vaccine from Russia could be used as early as next week.
There has been a turning point in the pandemic situation in Hungary, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in an interview to public radio on Friday.
These questions were left out of the official reports.
If the government conducts the February national consultation on “lifting” the restrictions imposed by the coronavirus epidemic, “decisions can be made on March 1 and April 1, or April 3, which is Easter”.
Viktor Orbán made a statement on Kossuth radio on Friday morning after the operative board meeting. “I can’t tell students that the situation is improving every day. If we look at the data of the last 3-4 days, then the improvement of the situation has stopped”, said the Prime Minister.
The willingness to vaccinate is higher among the elderly, which is correct because they are the most vulnerable group to the coronavirus, said the chief infectologist of the South Pest Central Hospital at the M1 on Thursday night.
Fully 93 Covid patients, generally elderly and suffering from an underlying illness, died over the past 24 hours, while 1,652 new infections were officially registered, bringing the total number of infected to 371,988, koronavirus.gov.hu said.
The inoculation of elderly people in the most senior age group who registered to get a jab against the coronavirus has begun in Hungary, a department head of the National Public Health Centre (NNK) said.
Not everyone can be vaccinated until the beginning of the summer, but enough people can get the vaccine by that time to drastically reduce the number of cases and thus get back to our normal lives.
Fully 83 Covid patients, generally elderly and suffering from an underlying illness, died over the past 24 hours, while 1,048 new infections were officially registered, bringing the total number of infected to 370,336, koronavirus.gov.hu said on Wednesday.
