Breaking – has the third wave already peaked in Hungary?
CecÃlia Müller, the chief medical officer of Hungary, said on Tuesday that the epidemic shows an upward trend. However, today it seems that the third wave is approaching its peak in the country. Portfólió, a local economic website, says, for example, that Hungary is already in the starting phase of the epidemic plateau.Â
Portfolio.hu checked the infection data of the 19 counties and the capital. Their results show that there are only three counties where the spread of coronavirus is still accelerating (Baranya, Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok, and Heves counties). Furthermore, in two additional counties, the increase of the number of infected people stopped (Vas and Zala counties). In nine counties, a kind of stagnation started, while in six, it seems that the number of new infected started to decrease – based on portfolio.hu.
However, Easter family visits can still destroy the positive trends.
According to the website, the 6,700 new infected announced today morning shows that the seven-day average started to decrease. Based on their analysis, some former infection centres like Budapest, Pest, Komárom-Esztergom, Győr-Moson-Sopron, Nógrád, and Somogy counties began to show better numbers.
- Is this ever going to end? More than 300 people died in COVID in the past 24 hours
- Hungarian journalists demand access to hospitals, COVID centres
- Will teachers and students refuse to go back to school because of the COVID?
It seems that the country broke into three parts in this regard.
In the first category, there are the counties in which the spread of the virus is still accelerating. These are Baranya, where the number of new infected broke a new record today, Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok, and Heves counties. In Vas and Zala counties, it seems that the trend of acceleration stopped.
Some counties show the trend of stagnation. These are Veszprém, Budapest (where data fluctuate), Pest (fluctuation), Győr-Moson-Sopron (fluctuation), Békés, Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg, Tolna és Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, and Hajdú Bihar counties.
Finally, the acceleration in the number of new infections started to decrease in six counties: Komárom-Esztergom, Fejér, Somogy, Csongrád-Csanád, Bács-Kiskun and Nógrád.
This means that in most counties, the spread of the virus stagnates or started to decrease, which is very good news. However, these are only trends yet, and behind the percents, thousands of people catch the virus every day, need to be transferred to a hospital or have to receive even intensive care and ventilation. Moreover, the number of deaths has never been as high as today.
Among others, that is why people have to follow the restriction rules even during Easter.
If not, the virus’s spread can still accelerate, and Hungary will have to deal with a fourth wave. Portfolio.hu highlights that there are already promising features in the epidemic process in Hungary. However, those can still worsen even in the following days.

With over 200,000 active infections, over 6000 new cases reported and a very high daily death toll, isn’t it rather early to talk about peaking? CAn’t we wait until these numbers are a lot less than this? Last year we never had to face this. How about some joined up journalism, so that your stories are not contradicting each other?
Scientific Medical Data used and respected globally indicates that a country through the strains of this novel virus – Hungary are in the 3rd strain or wave, need to have a Immunization level – medical meaning by (2) injections of vaccine, at no lower level than 65% of its population.
Peaks and Troughs opinions from eminent qualified individuals or other data, by all means respect it, but the Overwhelming need is to build a Human Barrier in the fight and challenges that confront us on-going in Hungary and ensure that 65% of us citizens are Immunized.
The immunization process to 65% of our population of 9.6 million, is not the end of this horrendous and worst human tragedy of the past century, but it will be the beginning of the end, that will allow us to return enabling permitting us to live our lives, with greater assurance, confidence, medical and health safety.
We are seeing 1 Hungarian death in every 471 Hungarian citizens presently and medical statistical information and data strongly indicates, the ratio to population number of deaths is distanced from what it will at it’s Zenith reach and reflect in loss of life numbers.
April 8th – what Political spin will be communicated to us ?
REMEMBER – History Never Lies.
Agree Dona.
The journalistic variances of opinion angles and spin – in this time, a country mood, likened to being in a cataclysmic decline, is APPALING.
April 1st – new cases over 9000 and deaths over 250 – deaths representing 1 in every 471 Hungarian citizens – and Rising.
Factuality of reporting and if you are going to speak use your mouth WHOEVER – through usage of Candour – truth and fact.
April 8th – what will be the Political Spin communicated to the population of Hungary ?
Don’t come the falseness line driven by on-going propaganda – that the worst is behind us.
Citizens need Factual Truth – not Political spin that is Economically focused instead of what should be the Priority the Health & Safety of the Hungarian population.
