Prime Minister Viktor Orbán made an unannounced visit to Tolna County Balassa János Hospital in southern Hungary on Sunday morning and posted a related video on his Facebook page, the prime minister’s press chief told MTI.
Orbán viewed two wards ready to receive large numbers of patients requiring intensive care, Bertalan Havasi said.
The chief physician said that the hospital is now treating one person with Covid-19 but it has capacity to provide care for people infected with coronavirus on almost 180 beds simultaneously.
At the end of the visit, the prime minister expressed his appreciation for the hospital’s preparedness.
In his interview to Kossuth Rádió on Friday, the Prime Minister said he would continue making unannounced visits to hospitals, “My instinct tells me that it’s necessary to go and gather information in the hospitals,” he said.
