Seventy-eight percent of Hungarians approve of the state of emergency that has been in effect in Hungary for two months as part of the response to the novel coronavirus epidemic, according to a survey by the Nézőpont Research Institute.

Fully 17 percent said they did not agree with the measure in hindsight, the pollster said.

As much as 50 percent of respondents critical of the government agreed that introducing an emergency had been the right decision, the survey released to MTI on Monday.

Survey noted that

in mid-March, 94 percent of respondents said they agreed with the emergency and at the end of March when the government announced to extend it, 85 percent supported the measure.

Last week, only 40 percent of respondents supported maintaining an emergency while 49 percent said it was no longer necessary.

Nézőpont said

66 percent of respondents agreed with the measure of lifting the emergency.

Sixty-two percent of respondents held the opinion that there would be a second wave of the epidemic in Hungary.

    I sincerely hope they will drop the face mask requirement soon and go back to regular shopping hours at food shops and pharmacies. I also hope soon the borders for Hungary will be opened back up for normal travel for tourist.
    I think the government has done a good job dealing with the pandemic.

    Prime Minister – Victor Orban & his Government – continue to be exemplary in there Management of this novel coronavirus.
    Hungary – likened to our performance as a Country, under the Leadership of Prime Minister – Victor Orban, over the past decade, that has been a shining light, a Major Success Story, within the European Union and Wider Europe, this is in FACT displayed again in our Governments outstanding display of confronting this novel corona virus crisis, that has seen there Focus majorly on US – there beloved fellow citizens of Hungary.
    Jack Russell’s comments, whilst totally appreciating and respecting the honesty and integrity of his comments, there is still a high degree of disquiet, in me, when will the correct time be to open up Hungary – back to a normality – it’s position prior to this novel coronavirus pandemic.
    Repetitive in my writing I remain, that the layer removals of the Laws – what they refer to, that we currently are bound to live under, the decisions must rest with opinions and guidelines from Medical Science.
    There is still NO Vaccine – for this novel coronavirus.
    It could be seen as a Sleeping Tiger that rears it’s Nasty head, that returns in a second wave, as a Hidden Dragon, breathing fire chaos and causing greater disaster, inflicting wider pain and suffering, than what we are seeing at present, throughout the World.
    Medical Science driven opinion and guidelines, is my preferred choice, for the layer removals in our return to a degree of normality, in our life-style.
    The steady as we go process acting from the opinions of Medical Science.
    Stay Well – ALL.

    The pigs in Brussels still believe that Orban is a fascist.

    Gary there is NO effective vaccine for the seasonal flu because it morphs constantly and the vaccine makers are alway hit or miss in producing effective ones that lessen the spread. This Covid 19 virus has already morphed into numerous substrains and producing an effect vaccine will never eliminate this virus either. The problem with this virus is and has been it is more dangerous to the elderly and people with serious underlying health issues (diabetes, cancer, heart disease, or similar conditions). Most people in normal health that have caught it had few symptoms and recovered within a few days to a couple weeks in most cases.

    I would NOT hitch my wagon to a vaccine ending this pandemic.
