Operative board: Facilities to receive four weeks’ supplies of protective gear
The authorities are distributing four weeks of supplies to staff of health-care services, retirement homes and social institutions, which are about to get 2 million face masks, 307,000 surgical gloves and 7,000 protective gowns, the head of the operative board said on Friday.
Tibor Lakatos, the head of the body coordinating the epidemic response, said that the military commanders assigned to oversee the institutions will be monitoring the supplies.
Speaking at the same online press conference, Chief Health Officer Cecília Müller said the number of new confirmed coronavirus cases had been declining four days in a row.
Meanwhile, an agreement was signed on Friday on setting up a vaccine plant in Hungary so the country can become independent from outside sources in that respect too, she said.
