The 382 new cases is the lowest daily figure since September, indicating that the pandemic is receding in Hungary. That said, today is Tuesday, and it typically means lower figures from the weekend when less people go to doctors and less tests are applied. Nevertheless, today’s figure is also lower than last Tuesday’s.

There were 68 coronavirus-related fatalities in the past 24 hours, up from the previous day’s 38 but still keeping up the falling trend.

The number of people in hospital and of those on ventilator also decreased in the past 24 hours, by 62 and 7, respectively, although the rate of decline has slowed compared to recent weeks.
