Change language:
Hungary’s chief medical officer on Friday reminded the public to avoid close contact and stay home in order to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Addressing a press conference after a meeting of the operative board coordinating the epidemic response, Cecília Müller urged those over the age of 65 to stay home, noting that this age group is the most vulnerable to the virus, especially if they have underlying illnesses.
At the same time, she warned that young people with immune system disorders or chronic medical conditions were also at risk.
Müller urged young people to avoid partying and those returning from abroad to self-isolate, adding that those who have the opportunity should work from home.
