The next phase of easing? – Great reopening in Hungary after 4 million vaccinations
Change language:
It seems like the third wave is somewhat coming to an end, or at least it is over its peak, and so the Hungarian government has decided that a slow reopening could be initiated. Hungary’s policy for reopening is based on the number of vaccinated people and that it will be done in phases.
We are already in the first phase of easing restrictions since the strict regulations initiated in early March. Some schools have also restarted their in-person education with more or less success. The next milestone will be when 3.5 million people in Hungary have received their first coronavirus jab. It is expected to be reached around the 21st to 23rd of April, meaning that the terraces and gardens of catering units can open as early as this weekend. The other, current restrictions will still be applied.
However, according to Magyar Hírlap, a news agency close to the Hungarian government, they have information on what restrictions will be terminated when the country reaches 4 million people with at least their first vaccine jabs, and it seems like it will be a big reopening.
The agency says that after the magical 4 million jabs, the government might allow hotels, baths, cinemas, theatres and other cultural events to reopen.
This is great news, and this milestone is currently only about 750,000 vaccinations away. However, another important thing to note is that in order
It is the 21st and no announcement has been made. Been waiting all week to grab a drink outside
ALL this vaccination and immunization figures getting published daily – BUT what about holders of – Residence Permit Card holders – especially over 60 years of age – who pay for ALL their Medical expenses under this Status of Residency in Hungary – when will WE be able to be Vaccinated ?
Residence Permit Card Holders – contribute billions of dollars into the Hungarian economy – yet neither the Government in their reply – NO decision what is happening – and NO support in contacting the office of The Mayor of Budapest and other councilors.
This is an attitude that could be deemed – ABANDONMENT – forgotten, put at the bottom of the list, or in the to hard basket.
What and WHEN – are the lights going to be “turned on” and WE – the thousands of Residency Card Holders – prepared to PAY for our Inoculation – when can we EXPECT a decision ???
When – with URGENCY – this needs by GOVERNMENT addressing.
