Multiple news outlets reported lately that several students who took part in the freshman camps of the Hungarian National University of Public Service, Budapest Business School, and the Corvinus University of Budapest tested positive.Â

The Corvinus University of Budapest organised its freshman camp between August 17 and 21 in Bükkszék, but 4 of those taking part in it produced a positive test in the camp. Afterwards, they cancelled the freshman camp of the Master’s students and did the same in the case of the 2020 freshman party as well.

12 students did a positive COVID-19 test.
They are all at home except for one who is currently in hospital, the university said. According to 24, the university made the relevant COVID-19 regulations stricter and is prepared to implement further measures based on the findings of the official examination.
