Altogether 81 patients died of a Covid-related illness during the past 24 hours, while 9,216 new coronavirus infections were registered, koronavirus.gov.hu said on Thursday.
Fully 29 percent of new infections have been caused by the Omicron variant.
So far 6,299,590 people have received a first jab, while 6,045,893 have been fully vaccinated. Fully 3,306,370 Hungarians have received a booster jab.
The number of active infections has risen to 122,424, while hospitals are treating 2,647 Covid-19 patients, 249 of whom are intubated on a ventilator.
Since the first outbreak, 1,318,093 have been registered with the virus, while 40,164 deaths have been recorded. Fully 1,155,505 people have made a recovery.
The figure is probably far higher but people are not self testing as much as they should due to the daylight robbery of pharmacies charging 17,990 huf (around 48 euros) for a pack of 5 antigen tests as opposed to around 9.75 euros in most of Europe.
