Mayor: Budapest residents deserve to know infection figures
Change language:
Budapest residents who have demonstrated “respectable acceptance” of restriction measures so far deserve to know the city’s novel coronavirus infection figures “which the government has so far failed to make public”, Budapest Mayor Gergely Karácsony said on Saturday.
Karácsony said in a post on Facebook that the figures were much needed for the planned reopening of the city and also because of “an increasing number of contradictions that must be clarified”.
- Coronavirus – Further 13 die, 3,213 registered cases in Hungary
- Budapest green spaces open from today!
He cited the fact that during its Saturday press conference the operative board that coordinates Hungary’s response to the epidemic did not reveal how many people were in hospital and how many on ventilators.
The mayor said it would also be important to know why nearly four thousand data items had disappeared from the public health authority website and added that it would be important to know the number of hospital infections.
