Coronavirus in Hungary – Stricter rules come into force today!
Change language:
From today, the use of masks is mandatory not only in shops and public transport, but also in cinemas, theatres, shopping malls, health and social care institutions, and customer reception offices. Furthermore, from 21st September all catering and entertainment establishments must close at 11 pm; meanwhile, the duration of official home quarantine is shortened to ten days instead of fourteen.
The Hungarian Government decided on 16th September that stricter rules would come into force from today. Accordingly:
-
Wearing a mask is mandatory not only in shops and public transport, but also in cinemas, theatres, shopping malls, health and social care institutions, and customer reception offices;
-
Nightclubs, catering and entertainment facilities will be open until 11 pm;
-
The price of the coronavirus test will not exceed EUR 54 (~HUF 19,500);
-
From 1st October, besides children’s, the temperature of pedagogues will also be checked.
As the Hungarian news portal Index reports, according to the new rules, wearing a mask is mandatory before take-off, and even at the railway station or stop, or in any room where they are waiting for a means of transport. Except for children under the age of six, the rule applies to everyone. Violators may be fined or excluded from the trip, and police action may be requested in case of confrontation.
Since the usual definition of a pedagogue is a strict, pedantic and usually dull teacher, will teachers who are not strict and who are interesting also be tested for Covid?
