PM Orbán: Pandemic fight set to enter new phase

Hungary’s fight against the Covid-19 pandemic is about to enter a new phase after the number of inoculated with the first jab has reached 4 million:

16-18 year olds can now register for vaccines.
The evening-night curfew is pushed back to midnight, meaning that shops and eateries can stay open until 11 pm from Saturday, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told public radio.
Eateries can reopen their indoor sections but can only serve customers with immunity certificates, Orbán said in his regular interview to Kossuth Rádió.
Hotels, leisure facilities, zoos, museums, cinemas, theatres, gyms and sporting venues can also open for people who have immunity certificates, but children who are not vaccination-age can enter with their parents.
