Coronavirus in Hungary – Face masks to be mandatory at restaurants, entertainment venues
The Hungarian government is extending face mask requirements to restaurants and entertainment venues from next week, the deputy head of the operative board responsible for handling the coronavirus epidemic said on Thursday.
The new regulations enter into effect on November 2, Róbert Kiss told a press conference.
Under the new rules, members of the public will be required to wear masks at entertainment venues, restaurants and in catering facilities at sporting events.
Masks will only be allowed to be removed for eating and drinking, Kiss said.
He noted that mask-wearing is currently obligatory in shops, on public transport and in cinemas, theatres, shopping malls, health-care and social-care facilities, at sporting events and public offices.

These regulations will NOT help public health. All these regulations are doing is wrecking businesses and causing people to lose employment. With this new rule for restaurants and bars I for one will stay home. I am not going to be told what to do. I will vote with my money. If I go to a restaurant or bar I go to enjoy myself not to be a compliant sheep.
Sorry, but what bullshit, unless masks are mandatory 100%, it will not help. Just 1 exception is enough to nullify everything.
