Man to sue government because his relatives died of COVID

A Hungarian citizen is to sue the government because he lost two of his relatives in the coronavirus epidemic. He said that his mother did not receive the proper vaccine, and he could not say goodbye to his sister.

According to hvg.hu, Jenő Ferincz lives in Nagykanizsa, Zala county. His sister died of coronavirus in the local Szent Rafael Hospital. His mother died of the complications that followed after she got the virus in the Kanizsai Dorottya Hospital. He talked about his story to today’s Népszava and added that he would sue the government.

Mr Ferincz said that the Kanizsai Dorottya Hospital did not let him say goodbye to his sister. By the time he arrived in the institute, the nurses had already taken his sister to the pathology. Based on the rules, he could not enter there. Moreover, he could only take the last glimpse of his mother in another local hospital through the window glass.

He criticised the measure of the hospitals and highlighted

he was not even sure whether he got the ashes of his relatives from the hospitals.

“There were a lot of cases when hospital staff mixed up the bodies. Thus, I cannot be sure.” Beáta Gasztonyi, the director of the Szent Rafael Hospital, said that they use special disinfection in the pathology department. Therefore, nobody can enter. She added that mixing up bodies could not happen thanks to their relevant, strict protocol.
