This is what Atlatszo reported last week

Protective equipment and COVID tests were ordered by the Semmelweis University of Medicine responsible for hospitals in Budapest for € 8.3 million. The procurement was carried out under an accelerated procurement procedure and the winning company was the same as in similar previous public procurements. Despite major purchases of masks, disinfectants and protective clothing, announced by the government, a leaked document suggests that the supplies available for healthcare workers are very limited.

According to a leaked document the Budapest Government Office only recently began to look at the number of people  who could help in hospitals in the event of a health emergency. For the time being, it seems that those belonging to groups at risk could also be mobilised in such a situation. Hasty requests for information through the government office indicate there might be chaos in the state apparatus.

The signatories to this letter call on all public authorities and institutions to protect those who report or expose the harms, abuses and serious wrongdoing that arise during this period of crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We also encourage all citizens and workers to participate in ensuring our governments, corporate institutions and markets remain accountable, and in defending the human rights and freedoms of all people.
