Chief medical officer: Patients diagnosed in all counties

People infected with the new coronavirus have been found in all counties in Hungary, Cecilia Muller, the chief medical officer, told a press conference on Monday. Muller said the number of people contracting Covid-19 has started to grow exponentially. In the past 24 hours alone, 36 patients have been confirmed to be suffering from the disease, she noted. In order to minimise the number of personal meetings, procedures have changed so that ambulances visit the potentially infected, take the tests and transport the samples to the laboratories, she said.
