New favipiravir delivery from China to arrive next week

Another million favipiravir pills will arrive from China next week, bringing the total number imported from China to 2.8 million, the foreign minister said in a statement on Friday, after speaking by phone with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi. Peter Szijjarto said Hungary is in close touch with all three Chinese companies developing vaccines against the coronavirus, and soon the Hungarian health authorities will have the relevant documentation, on the basis of which a decision will be made on whether to allow use of the vaccine in the country. Export approval is in the pipeline, and pending the results of Hungarian laboratory tests, 500,000 Chinese vaccines may arrive in Hungary in the coming months, he said.
