These are the latest data published by the koronavirus.gov.hu ​​website. The number of vaccinated people is 6,232,575, of which 5,945,349 have already received their second vaccination, and 3,114,011 have already received their third vaccination. 1,985 new infected people were confirmed, bringing the total number of identified infected people to 1,230,385 since the beginning of the epidemic.

Most of the 132 people who died were elderly and chronically ill, so the number of those who died rose to 38,028. The number of recovered people is constantly increasing, currently 1,054,288 people, and the number of active infected people has decreased to 138,069 people. 5,527 coronavirus patients are being treated in hospital, 501 of them are on ventilators. According to Monday's laboratory data, 15 omicron cases have already been confirmed and additional omicron-suspected samples are being examined. The registration and appointment website for vaccinating children aged 5-11 years is continuously open for parents.

The omicron virus variant is already present in Hungary, so we still ask the unvaccinated to take the vaccine, because the chance against all variants is greater with the vaccine than without. We still ask those who have been vaccinated to take the booster shot, as 80-90% of them increase immunity again.
