85 Covid-19 patients, generally elderly people and those suffering from an underlying illness, died over the past 24 hours, while 1,004 new infections were officially registered, bringing the total number of those infected to 361,881, koronavirus.gov.hu said on Tuesday.
The death toll has risen to 12,198, while 246,596 people have recovered.

The number of active infections stands at 103,087, while there are 3,809 hospitalised Covid-19 patients, 255 on ventilators. A total of 17,834 people are in official home quarantine, and the number of tests carried out has risen to 3,084,716.

Hungary began administering the coronavirus vaccine in December.

So far, 152,704 people have received their first jab, and 17,772 have been fully inoculated.

Most infections have been registered in Budapest (67,306) and Pest County (44,983) so far, followed by the counties of Hajdu-Bihar (20,477), Gyor-Moson-Sopron (20,291), and Borsod-Abauj-Zemplen (20,209). The county least affected by the infection is Tolna (7,809).

Restrictions to stay in place until February 1

The government will keep coronavirus-related restrictions in place until February 1, and secondary schools will continue digital education, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said.

A decree made commercial P+Rs, parking garages, and parking lots in residential areas free of charge from 7:00 in the evening until 7:00 in the morning. Soldiers are helping the police in carrying out their duties in public areas. Soldiers have also been assigned to help out the staff in 93 hospitals around Hungary.

The curfew is in force between 8 pm and 5 am, and work carried out beyond the home must be justified.

With the exception of pharmacies and petrol stations, shops can be open until 7 pm. Hairdressers, masseurs, and personal trainers must observe general curfew rules. Family and private events, including birthday celebrations, can be held with a maximum of ten people attending – children do not count in the headcount.

A major new rule is that

face masks must be worn in public spaces

in places with more than 10,000 residents, though it is up to local mayors to decide which spaces the rule applies to. Restaurants are limited to offering takeaways, while hotels are not allowed to cater to tourists but only guests arriving for business, economic, or educational purposes. Sports events must be held behind closed doors.

Also, leisure facilities such as gyms, indoor swimming pools, museums, libraries, cinemas, zoos, and skating rinks must suspend their services. Events, including cultural events, cannot be held under the special rules.
