Szabolcs Békássy asks everybody to call their doctor if they experience respiratory symptoms. The chairman of the online organization of Hungarian GPs added that the number of patients with such symptoms rose significantly. That means the fourth and fifth waves of the coronavirus overlapped.

Less severe symptoms but more patients in the fifth wave

Mr Békássy highlighted that the omicron variant is in the background spreading dramatically. “Thanks to the vaccines, we experience that the symptoms are less severe in the case of omicron” – he said. Most of their patients complain about shore throat and the common cold. However, it seems the flu also arrived in Hungary. We wrote about the dangers of a combined flu and omicron epidemic HERE.
