Last year, just like in most countries in the world, was about the coronavirus pandemic in Hungary as well. We take a look at how this dangerous disease started spreading in the country, hoping that the recently started mass vaccination will soon render the virus a thing of the past. Summary.
In Hungary, from the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak in March until the very end of 2020, a shocking 322,514 coronavirus cases were registered, and 9,537 people died. This means that almost every hundredth fatality of the last year in the country was due to the coronavirus.
The first two coronavirus cases were registered by the authorities in Hungary on March 4, 2020, after which the virus started spreading rapidly. Less than two weeks later on the 15th of March, the first coronavirus-related death occurred.
