According to the government's coronavirus information website, Hungary's total Covid-19 death toll has surpassed 40,000, although the number of severe cases requiring hospitalisation or mechanical ventilation has decreased marginally. The government reported 3,382 new daily Covid-19 instances on Tuesday alone, bringing the total to 1,300,994.

In the last 24 hours, 69 people have died as a result of the disease, bringing the total death toll in the country to 40,016 people, while 1,147,818 people have recovered. According to the government's website, 2,932 patients are now being treated in hospitals, including 274 on ventilators. Hungary's Covid-19 death toll remained at 30,000 by the start of July 2021.

According to Miklos Kasler, the Minister of Human Resources in charge of healthcare, the number of daily infections might reach 13,000, the number of hospitalizations could range from 8,000 to 9,000, and over 200 people could die each day during the ongoing fifth wave of the pandemic.

Kasler told Info radio that he was "quite convinced" that a fourth vaccine dose was required and that the government was prepared for it. The Minister noted that while the recommended time between the third and fourth vaccine doses may be extended, additional testing are needed to decide when a fourth vaccine dosage may be given.
