The website noted that the aim now is to resume normal life gradually and according to a strict schedule, so full restrictions still apply in the most heavily infected areas, Budapest and Pest County. Elsewhere, physical distancing and a variety of other rules still apply.

Budapest tops the list of registered infections (1,579 people), followed by Pest County (434), Fejer County (333), and Komarom-Esztergom County and Zala County (166-166). Vas County has the fewest (14) infections in Hungary.
