Coronavirus - Orban encourages public to get inoculated amid rising third wave

Prime Minister Viktor Orban, in a radio interview on Friday, encouraged Hungarians to get themselves inoculated against the coronavirus, warning that the country was on the cusp of a third wave of infections. With a third wave of the pandemic hitting the country, people should make a rational, rather than an emotional decision on getting vaccinated, as it could even cost them their lives, Orban told public broadcaster Kossuth Radio. "I ask everyone to register and go and get themselves inoculated and if possible, accept whichever vaccine they are offered," the prime minister said.
