(Reuters) – Hungary reported on Friday a record daily rise of 4,709 new COVID-19 infections, with 5,489 patients being treated in hospital, the government said.
The death toll rose by 103, the first time it has exceeded 100 in one day, taking the total number of fatalities so far in the country of 10 million people to 2,250.
Hungary closed dance clubs and imposed a night-time curfew earlier this week to curb a rapid spread in COVID-19 infections.
