Restrictions in Budapest to be lifted from midnight on Sunday – DETAILS
Change language:
In accordance with the announcement made by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán earlier today, the curfew restrictions imposed in Budapest due to the novel coronavirus will be lifted from midnight on Sunday evening, the minister heading the Prime Minister’s Office told public news channel M1 on Saturday.
Gergely Gulyás said the rules of easing the lockdown that came into effect in the countryside from May 4 will come into effect in the capital, but social distancing measures will continue to apply.
The minister thanked the citizens of Budapest for complying with the curfew restrictions in a disciplined manner for such a long time, but warned that adhering to the less stringent measures coming into effect now is just as important.
He confirmed that if the trend of the epidemic remains unchanged, the government will ask Parliament late May to end the special authorization given to it at the start of the state of emergency.
Gulyás said the government lifted the restrictions in the capital only two weeks after it did in the countryside because coronavirus cases and fatalities were concentrated in Budapest.
In recent days, however, the number of people who recovered from the disease well exceeded the number of new infections, therefore, the number of active cases has fallen significantly, even though most Covid-19 cases are still in the capital, he added.
He said the government had consulted everyone, including mayors, virologists and doctors, to be able to take a responsible decision.
