Surge in Covid Cases Begins to Overwhelm Hungary’s Healthcare System
The third wave of the coronavirus pandemic is now putting significantly more pressure on Hungary’s healthcare system than ever before. More and more hospitals are operating at their maximum capacity, younger and healthier people are being infected more frequently, and deaths are increasing. The sudden surge is taking a terrible toll on healthcare workers’ mental and physical health.
Since Wednesday, there are 8,329 people hospitalized, a few hundred more than the December record of the second wave.
The number of people on ventilators, 911, has also exceeded previous numbers. The situation only seems to be getting worse.

The ‘Mi Hazánk’ movement announced that they would organize a protest against “excessive closures” on March 15th. However, the decision received criticism arguing that the demonstration is clearly not appropriate when the epidemiological situation is continuously deteriorating.
“We the yoke of slavery/No more shall wear”- the motto of Mi Hazánk’s protest was taken from one of the most popular Hungarian poems, Sándor Petőfi’s National Song, and therefore is a reference to the 1848 revolution which started on March 15th, though likening the situation of Hungarians fighting for their rights in the Habsburg Empire to closures introduced to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, is undoubtedly far-fetched.
