Qubit reported that it is unknown whether the Hungarian government will order a curfew. Many try to guess why it has not been introduced yet or when it will be. But when is it the right time for a nation to introduce an order like this?
If a pandemic spreads across an entire country, a few weeks of curfew cannot stop it.
If it is introduced sooner than the pandemic starts, it will cause unnecessary damages for the economy, but if it is introduced when it is too late, the spreading of the virus will continue. Scientists say if the number of infected people is estimated to be 5,000 and one subject can infect two others, the curfew should be introduced 33 days before the pandemic’s major outbreak.
The curfew should last for at least 50 days to decrease the number of infected people to half a million.
