A loophole to travel in the EU without quarantine or testing?
Change language:
Each EU state has different travel restrictions because of the pandemic, so it is quite easy to avoid certain restrictions depending on one’s route.
Hungary lifted the quarantine obligation for Hungarian and EU citizens in the middle of June, and Slovak Facebook users were quick to realise that if they travelled home through Budapest, they could avoid the restriction regarding people coming in from England. Now, the tables have turned, as Austria and Slovakia are giving Hungarians returning from England a chance to avoid a two-week quarantine or pricey testing, reported Forbes.
As each country tries to minimise the spreading of the virus as much as possible and introduce new restrictions and rules, often quickly, it creates a sort of chaos, as every country has a different set of rules, making it easy to play the system.
In Hungary, no one could come to the country without a strict official two-week quarantine until the middle of June, but the following month, basically almost anyone from anywhere could come and go without any sort of restriction.
In the middle of July, a colour-coded system was introduced, in which Hungarian citizens can travel to and from countries which are in the “green zone” but need to go into quarantine if returning from a country which is in the “yellow” or “red” zone. If someone has two negative tests, they can come out of quarantine, however.
When the colour-coded system went live, 11 countries – including the United Kingdom – were put in the yellow zone and 8 in the red. Two countries’ zones were changed two days later, but nothing else has been updated since.
The Prime Minister – Victor Orban and his Government continue to be exemplary in there Management and Control and understanding, the vital need and importance of SEPARATING the Economy and Health – in there Governing of Hungary.
There must be absolute continuing attention and vigilance paid to those, there reason(s) entering Hungary.
Those who believe they can outsmart our Laws or if our Laws need additional tightening, this must be the focus through implementation, to ensure we, eradicate all loopholes, to guarantee the Health and Safety to ALL – Hungarian Citizens and Residents.
Global cases, which Hungary is included, the rise of active new cases of this coronavirus are on a path of aggression upwards.
There still has not been a vaccine discovered that can immunize human beings from contacting this deadly virus.
We must DO in these Challenging times what is RIGHT and remain UNITED in our acts of Responsibility individually to challenge and fight this novel coronavirus.
Stay Well – ALL.
