Breaking – mandatory mask-wearing on public transport, employers given right to require vaccination
The government has decided to give employers the right to require vaccination against Covid-19 as a precondition of employment in order to ensure workers’ safety, the prime minister’s chief of staff said on Thursday.
The state, as an employer, will also apply the measure, and mayors will have the right to introduce the requirement at local councils, Gergely Gulyás told a regular press briefing. Gulyás said the government has also decided to make mask-wearing mandatory on public transport again from November 1 and to introduce a ban on visitors at hospitals. He said the measures were aimed at encouraging as many people as possible to get vaccinated.

Hungary will send a letter to the European Commission asking it to cover at least part of the costs of the country’s border fence, the prime minister’s chief of staff said on Thursday.
Migration pressure on Europe’s borders is growing and is expected to keep increasing, Gergely Gulyás told a regular press briefing.
“It would be nice if the European Commission switched from supporting migration to supporting the protection of external borders because if we don’t want Europe to be destabilised during the pandemic and the economic recovery, then we need effective border protection, which requires proper European approval,” he said.
