A secondary school in Mezőkövesd was evacuated after dozens of students and a teacher complained of throat irritation and malaise. A total of 23 students were taken to the hospital, and disaster management experts deployed a mobile laboratory to investigate the scene.
Mezőkövesd is the cultural and tourism hub of the Matyó region in northern Hungary, situated at the meeting point of the Bükk Mountains and the Great Hungarian Plain. First documented in 1275, the settlement rose to prominence in 1464 when King Matthias Corvinus granted it market town status. The town is globally renowned for its Matyó folk art and embroidery, which was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2012. These animated floral patterns and traditions are preserved in the Hadas district, an open-air museum showcasing traditional architecture. Another major attraction is the Zsóry Thermal Bath and Spa, established in 1939 after high-sulfur medicinal water was discovered during oil exploration on the estate of Lajos Zsóry. Today, it is one of Hungary's most popular health resorts, particularly effective for treating musculoskeletal disorders. The Matyó Museum provides a comprehensive look at the region's rich ethnographic heritage and the evolution of the local community.
The most pleasant time to visit is Jun–Aug.
