Restrictions in Western Europe, but Hungary prepares for the biggest August 20 celebrations ever

In Western Europe, more and more countries are implementing new restrictions because of the accelerating spread of the Delta variant. In Italy, for example, the government made the vaccine obligatory for teachers, and they require immunity cards in many places. Meanwhile, Hungary is preparing for the August 20 celebrations, suspending restrictions still in effect.

According to portfolio.hu, Romania prolonged the state of emergency because of the spread of the coronavirus. Meanwhile, Serbia has inoculated half of their citizens by today.

In Italy, obtaining an immunity card will be a prerequisite for inland travel between regions.

Furthermore, it will be obligatory in restaurants, museums, baths, spas, cultural and sports events.

Meanwhile, it seems that Hungary is not afraid of the new COVID variant. The government prepares for the biggest August 20 celebrations ever. Thus, they suspended all restrictions still in effect for that weekend (August 18-22). Moreover, the

rules will be suspended

during the FEI Driving European Championship (September 2-5) and during the 52nd International Eucharistic Congress (September 13-20), in which Pope Francis will also take part.
