Coronavirus – Inbound travel restrictions in Hungary eased for these two country
Hungary has updated the classification of two countries in terms of travel restrictions linked to the novel coronavirus pandemic and eased restrictions for inbound travellers from Canada and Portugal, the government website koronavirus.gov.hu reported on Saturday.
The classification of Canada has been changed from “red” to “yellow” and the classification of Portugal from “yellow” to “green”, the public health authority NNK said on the website.
The state of health emergency and travel restrictions affecting various countries remain in force, NNK added.
The aim is to prevent the import of the virus and a flare-up of the epidemic in Hungary, as well as to avoid having to introduce further restrictions, it said.
Restrictions affecting inbound travellers from countries classified as “yellow” and “red” include random health checks for those travelling on public road and at airports.
They must fill in questionnaires and stay in home quarantine. Persons selected for home quarantine must stay in their homes for 14 days unless they have PCR screening done which shows negative results.
