Ader lauds health-care workers

The novel coronavirus epidemic has demonstrated, more than ever, the value of the efforts of health-care workers when it comes to caring for the sick and the elderly, President Janos Ader said on Tuesday, marking Semmelweis Day, the day of national health care. Addressing a celebration at the National Haematology and Infectology Institute, the president said that although Hungary had managed to keep the epidemic under control in the recent period, "the war is not yet over, as there's no medicine or vaccine" against the virus. "You have won the battles of the past weeks," Ader told the health-care workers in attendance, adding that Hungary was indebted to them for their efforts.
