Hungary's daily coronavirus infections on Friday surpassed 10,000, hitting a new record at 10,759, the government said on its COVID-19 information website.

The daily death toll also hit a new record at 213 in the central European country of 10 million, while vaccinations continued and reached nearly 1.5 million people as the government races to contain the pandemic and reopen the economy.
