(ANSA) - BUDAPEST, 08 NOV - With the increase in tampons and an average of more than 5,000 new infections from Covid-19 per day, the health service in Hungary "is approaching collapse" and soon "the dilemma will arise. must decide who to save and who not ": said the vice president of the Hungarian medical order (Mok), Tamas Sved.
Yesterday there were five thousand new cases and 103 deaths, a record, making Hungary the third country for deaths in relation to the population after Belgium and the Czech Republic, he recalls.
The beds available in hospitals - reports Sved - are by now very few, and there is a lack of qualified doctors and nurses in the intensive care units, where "dentists and psychiatrists are also working to make up for the shortcomings".
According to many observers, the measures announced last week by Prime Minister Viktor Orban are largely insufficient, given, among other things, that nothing has been closed, that schools, restaurants and clubs, shops, sports facilities remain open.
"The country must work, the economy must not be stopped", Orban had said, who nevertheless promised to undertake to import the future Russian or Chinese vaccines from January, despite the fact that none of these products have yet obtained green light from the EU authorities. because they have not yet completed the experiment.
