Corona Update Friday May 08th, 2020

 

The number of confirmed people infected with the coronavirus in Hungary now stands at 3,150.

In compulsory home quarantine: 10,956. Recovered: 801. Deceased: 383. (Thursday 07th pm)

 

During today’s (07th May) press conference, Chief Medical Officer Cecília Müller revealed a decline in new COVID-19 cases.

“Only 39 new cases have been registered in the last 24 hours, the number of confirmed cases has significantly reduced

over several days; and previous model calculations seem to be confirmed,” she said.

 

After May 4, Hungary officially fell into two pieces as the Hungarian Government decided to ease the restrictions that help

to stop the spreading of the coronavirus epidemic except for Budapest and Pest counties. In Budapest and Pest County,

the limits valid from March 28 still will be valid for an uncertain period because most of the infected people are located in these areas.

In the eighteen counties of Hungary, so in our City of Ajka too, the restrictions are no longer valid, but that does not mean

that everything is back to normal again. Everyone is obliged to keep the 1.5 meters distance from other people.

Until August 15, no events are allowed to be organised but weddings, funerals and other religious events.

Theatres, cinemas, museums do not open.

 

Our company was working this week as we planned. The Production at Speed-Tech runs partly in 3 shifts, there are no sick leaves

and raw material is available, supply chain is working well.

 

So regarding to our company, our customers and stake holders can be reasured, everything is still working well

and we work strong to secure this status quo.

 

Because of the good situation we suspend temporarily the Corona Update here in our webpage, if there will be any important change

we will inform you a.s.a.p.
