Coronavirus – evacuated dormitories to become quarantine buildings

Presumably, evacuated dormitories will provide a place to asymptomatic infections that do not require hospital treatment.

Due to the coronavirus emergency – last Wednesday, the Hungarian Government announced the closure of universities; as a consequence of which Hungarian students had to move out from dorms. First, they were asked to take only the most necessary belongings; however, by the end of the week, all their belongings had to be taken home – reported by szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu.

Hungarian dormitories have become wholly evacuated.

As the Hungarian RTL news reported, students were standing in long queues at the Dormitory of the University of Pécs, as they could go up on the floors only one by one; therefore, it took hours to pack up everything. The process was regulated accordingly in order to avoid infections; however, the measure outraged several students, according to whom, standing in the long queue for hours can result in infection anyway. According to RTL news, only medical college students can remain in dormitories; however, they also need to move to other dorms.

dormitories have been emptied due to the spread of the coronavirus; and – if necessary – will be used as quarantine buildings in the future. Presumably, they will provide a place to asymptomatic infections that do not require hospital treatment and in the case of patients where home quarantine cannot be resolved.
