The website noted that the aim now is to resume normal life gradually and according to a strict schedule, so full restrictions still apply in the most heavily infected areas, Budapest and Pest County.

Elsewhere, physical distancing and a variety of other rules still apply.

Budapest tops the list of registered infections (1,544 people), followed by Pest County (414), Fejer County (312) and Komarom-Esztergom County (157). Vas County has the fewest (14) infections in Hungary.
