Hungary’s National Public Health Centre (NNK) on Thursday said it has identified another 46 cases of the omicron variant of the coronavirus, bringing the total number of cases to 61.
Â
The omicron variant is spreading quickly in several European countries and has been found to be more contagious than previous variants, the NNK said on the government website koronavirus.gov.hu. It added, however, that there were conflicting reports of the severity of the variant given the lack of clinical data on it.
Â
The NNK urged those who are unvaccinated against Covid to get the jab and those who are vaccinated to also get a booster shot.
Â
It noted that those who pre-register for a shot can get inoculated at designated hospital vaccination points even during the holidays, adding that
Â
there will be more inoculation drive days in January when people will be able to get the jab without making an appointment.
