The rector of the Szeged University performed surgeries even though he was infected with coronavirus
Change language:
László Rovó is an otolaryngologist, and he felt the symptoms of the disease after he returned from a ski holiday he spent in South Tyrol. However, between his return and the time he felt the symptoms, he continued his work as a rector and performed surgeries.
According to hvg, the rector did not test himself or his family, and he did not go to quarantine, either, after he returned home. Instead, he continued to work not only at the university but also in the Department Of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology and Head-Neck Surgery that he leads. He was tested for coronavirus only after he showed the symptoms of the disease, and the result was positive.

Based on the sources of hvg, thanks to the carelessness of the professor, the full staff of the Rector’s Cabinet had to go into quarantine. Furthermore, all doctors and nurses of the Department Of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology and Head-Neck Surgery were tested on Saturday. Moreover, professor Rovó was taking part in many meetings between his return and the time he felt the symptoms, so he could have infected many additional people, too.
