The number of registered coronavirus infections in Hungary has risen by 73 to 5,288 over the past 24 hours, koronavirus.gov.hu said on Wednesday morning.

The number of fatalities remained unchanged at 614, and 3,734 people have made a recovery.

There are 940 active infections and 64 coronavirus patients are being treated in hospital for Covid-19, seven on ventilators.

Fully 7,707 people are in official home quarantine, while the number of tests carried out stands at 405,067.

New restrictions on entering the country came into force on July 12, with the aim of preventing the import of infections from abroad.

Foreign countries have been classed into three categories: red, yellow, green. The authorities are screening arrivals and taking action based on the severity of the infection rate in each country. This can include ordering home quarantine for 14 days and compulsory testing.

The site said that most new infections can be attributed to people ignoring symptoms and attending family gatherings or smaller events with friends.

It noted that the operative board coordinating Hungary’s response to the epidemic will propose stricter restrictions on foreign travel at this week’s cabinet meeting.

A ban on gatherings of more than 500 people is still in force in order to avoid a flare-up of the epidemic. As a general rule people must wear a face mask in shops and on public transport.

Most infections have been registered in Budapest (2,302), followed by Pest County (769) and the counties of Fejer (401), Komarom-Esztergom (318) and Zala (279). Bekes County has the fewest infections (20).

    The new case levels statistically have entered a category that the need to instigate immediate stricter bans on entry into Hungary is unavoidable.
    Prime Minister – Victor Orban and his Government have been exemplary in there Management and Control of this novel coronavirus.
    There has been noticeable a drop off in relation to masks being worn on public transport, and this should be enforced and policed with tighter control procedures.
    This virus still has numbers of impacts and ugly ramifications that it will inflict into our world.
    There still has not been a vaccine that will immunize human beings from contacting this deadly virus.
    We must ALL conduct our lives Responsible and in accordance to laws that are in place for our Health and Safety well-being.
    Diligence and attention to scientific medical recommendations is paramount and that we ALL play this challenge of living in a country and a world, infected by a aggressive deadly virus, that sees us following laws and thinking just not of our own health status but inclusive of our fellow countryman.
    We can not flaunt nor play or tease with this virus, as it will, in all probability have the on-going catastrophic impacts that we have witnessed that could could see deeper penetration of its power, into countries, there population, there society and mankind.
    Stay Well – ALL.
