Coronavirus – Budapest to close down resorts for weekend
The municipality of Budapest and district governments have decided to close down Margaret and Obudai islands and the Romai promenade along the river Danube for the weekend, Mayor Gergely Karácsony said on Facebook on Friday.
Karácsony said that the popular resorts would be closed for the public between 9am and 8pm, similarly to last weekend, in light of the coronavirus epidemic.
Karácsony also announced that passengers using public transport would be obliged to wear masks or cover their face with a scarf, starting on April 27.
He noted that the city passed this latter decision following the example of Vienna.
