New coronavirus patients in Hungary having mild symptoms
The two Iranian students who were tested positive with the new coronavirus infection on Wednesday have mild symptoms and no fever, János Szlávik, head of the infectology department of St. László Hospital, told public broadcaster M1 on Thursday.
The cases are isolated, the two young men do not know each other, Szlávik said, noting that one of them had returned from Iran to carry on with his studies on February 22, while the other arrived on 28. Hospital staff is now working to find the people they have contacted since then, Szlávik said, adding that their partners have also been isolated and are being tested.

All of them are well and probably not infected, he added.
