The number of confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus infection in Hungary has risen to 103, said koronavirus.gov.hu on Saturday.

Ten of the patients are Iranians, two British, a Kazakh, another Vietnamese, and 89 Hungarians, the government website said to spread information about the epidemic.

Four patients have died and seven have recovered so far. The epidemic in the country has entered the second phase, as the virus is not only transmitted from one person to another, but also in communities.

The authorities stress that people, especially the elderly, should not leave their homes and obey the rules regarding the epidemic.
