Fully 56 Covid patients, generally elderly and suffering from an underlying illness, died over the past 24 hours, while 844 new infections were officially registered, bringing the total number of infected to 360,418, koronavirus.gov.hu said on Monday.

The death toll has risen to 12,024, while 243,092 people have made a recovery.

The number of active infections stands at 105,302, while there are 3,814 hospitalised Covid patients, 247 on a ventilator.

Altogether 18,141 people are in official home quarantine, and the number of tests carried out has risen to 3,062,132.

Hungary began rolling out the coronavirus vaccine in December. So far, 146,695 people have received their first jab, and 9,403 have been fully inoculated.

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 staff in 93 hospitals around Hungary.

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

With the exception of pharmacies and petrol stations, shops can be open until 7pm. 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 localities 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, only guests arriving for business, economic or educational purposes. Sports events must be held behind closed doors.

Also, leisure facilities such as fitness 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.

    Congratulations to ALL and our Government under Prime Minister – Victor Orban, – the trend does appear to be downward – daily new cases & deaths.
    We must accelerate the citizen inoculation of the vaccine, building that Scientific Medical Statistic, of the “need” that at least 70% of a population requires to be immunized to build that Human Barrier of resistance to this novel coronavirus.
    In expressing deserving praise and appreciation my position remains that our immunization should not be by the Russian nor Chinese “versions” of the vaccine, but by the European Union approved and Authorized version(s) that have undertaken all Legal and Scientific Processes of Testing and Investigation, that meet the European Union standards.
