Coronavirus - Epidemic enters new stage, says chief medical officer

The outbreak of the new coronavirus in Hungary has entered its next stage, going from isolated cases to clusters, chief medical officer Cecilia Muller said on Monday. The cases identified in the country so far were either individual ones or within smaller communities, she told a press conference after a meeting of the operative board coordinating the epidemic response. But in the coming days the epidemic is expected to appear in clusters, she added. Muller advised those who could to stay at home and minimise social contact, saying all contact with others presented a risk of infection.
