Szijjarto: WHO satisfied with Hungary's handling of pandemic

It is clear that the World Health Organisation (WHO) appreciates the measures the Hungarian government has taken so far to combat the coronavirus pandemic and is satisfied with the way the country handled the first wave, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said after talks with WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in Geneva on Tuesday. At the same time, it is also clear that the second wave of the pandemic will be different, posing far greater challenges than the first one did, Szijjarto said. What made the first wave difficult was that the world had been completely unprepared for a global pandemic, he said, adding, however, that the world's health-care systems have now had time to prepare for the next wave.
