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 still stops the list of registered infections (1,587 people), followed by Pest County (438) and Féjer County (333). Vas County has the fewest (14) infections in Hungary.
