The Peninsula
BUDAPEST: Hungary reported a jump in daily COVID-19 cases to 3,125 on Wednesday, its highest daily tally since April, the government said, urging people to take up vaccines that are widely available nationwide.
Hungary has seen a steady increase in infections over the past weeks - with Wednesday's numbers jumping from 1,668 daily new cases a week ago - but its daily new infections still remain below the numbers elsewhere in central and eastern Europe.
Hungary, a country of 10 million, has reported 30,647 deaths since the start of the pandemic. More than 5.7 million people have been fully vaccinated against the virus so far, and more than 1.1 million have received a third, booster shot.
