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.
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 Easter.
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.

Hungary – we are seeing 1 in every 471 citizen of Hungary loosing there lives to this novel virus.
This death ratio to population number is in the highest category world wide, based on population number in the case of Hungary being 9.6 million.
Immunization of 65% of Hungarians being x2 of the injection, the Human Barrier is our way of mounting a strong defence against this rampant novel virus.
April 13th – the date Government on vaccine received numbers – 1 injection and those Fully Immunized having received x2 injections, – this is a Dangerous time and date – to peel back laws – relax laws in place to control social behaviour and social distancing and the re-opening other public facilities.
This decision is ECONOMICALLY driven and NOT focused on the Health & Safety of Hungarian citizens.
Virologists and the Hungarian Medical Chamber totally supported by the Governments Interior Minister – Sandor Pinter, for excessive weeks, has been advising The Prime Minister – Victor Orban – that there needs to be tighter laws implemented to curb the rampant and aggressive path this novel virus continues to spread throughout Hungary.
Daily new case numbers – Daily Death numbers – citizens on life support units and our Government are looking at from April 13th – relaxing and opening our country to reflect a somewhat return to normality of life ?
WRONG – if we go that path, further records will be broken as a country where we stand in the invasion of this novel virus.
REMEMBER – that History Never Lies.
