• The number of new cases of coronavirus and those in need of hospital care is growing exponentially. According to an epidemiologist interviewed by our newsletter, these numbers could triple in two weeks. According to Gábor Vattay, we are currently only four or five days behind the second wave last fall. The government’s current action does not change the situation.
• During the week, road renovations will begin at six sites in Szeged. The local government will spend half a billion forints to rebuild the sidewalks again this year. Previously, this amount was one billion forints, but after the government withdrew the car tax last year, Szeged was forced to reduce the road tax.
• It was appointed in 2019, but Caroline Sharett, Canada’s ambassador to Hungary, has not been able to start her personal visits yet due to the coronavirus pandemic. One of his first trips was now to Szeged, where he negotiated with László Botka, seeking opportunities for cooperation between Szeged and the North American country.
