Coronavirus-related restrictions remain in effect until April 8
Hungary has no room to loosen lockdown measures yet due to a rise in coronavirus infections. Details:
- Decrees about extended restrictions and reopening published
- Virus spread can start slowing mid-to-late April
- Hungary’s reopening – will we really get back our freedom by the summer?
Shops, with the exception of grocery stores, pharmacies, petrol stations, drugstores, tobacco shops, shops selling tools for “spring gardening”, pet food and fodder shops, and markets, will have to be closed, and services will have to stop, with the exception of private healthcare, social care, financial, postal, and car repair services, suspended between March 8 and Eastern.
Kindergartens and primary schools will be closed from March 8 until April 19.
Gyms will continue to be closed for two weeks, but licenced athletes will be allowed to train and compete behind closed doors. Parks will be allowed to stay open and outdoor sports will also be allowed for activities in which people can maintain a safe distance of 1.5 metres.
The government asks employers to ensure that their employees can work from home wherever possible, particularly in the case of those with children.
Mask-wearing remains mandatory outdoors. Hungary would impose tighter controls on its borders, adding, however, that freight and transit traffic will not be restricted. Wage subsidies and tax cuts introduced for the hospitality industry will be expanded for the period of the lockdown to all sectors forced to shut down by the new measures.

YES – use the “supposed” power of a Free Press.
Just don’t sit on the fence – shame and blame and name passed on FACT.
