This is when Hungary can fully reopen

We can reopen if every person who registered and is above 65 got the vaccine. That will happen when the number of inoculated citizens reaches 2.5 million, PM Viktor Orbán said in his Friday morning radio interview. Portfolio.hu analysed the progress of the vaccination program defining what the timeline of reopening might be. We sum up their findings below.

According to Portfolio.hu, everything depends on two key factors: the peak of the third wave and whether enough people will accept the vaccines which will come in mass numbers from April.

PM Viktor Orbán said yesterday in his regular Kossuth Radio interview that they are now compiling the plan for reopening. However, he shared no further details except that they will launch the first phase when 2.5 million people will have received the vaccine. Portfolio.hu says that

there are at least 800 thousand elderly waiting for their vaccine.

With their inoculation, the government’s first target can be reached.

  • EU’s drug regulator backs ‘safe and effective’ AstraZeneca vaccine
  • Hungarian government to issue immunity certificates irrespective of vaccine type
  • GP refuses to administer vaccines to his patients in Hungary

The data of the Hungarian vaccination program shows that if there are enough jabs,

the Hungarian system can administer 40-60 thousand doses per day.

Furthermore, there are days when this number rises to 80-110 doses.

Based on that, Portfolio.hu calculated the expected date of when the number of vaccinated people reaches 2.5 million, 3 million, 3.5 million, and 4 million. Results show that the first target can be reached by April 7, which means that, according to Portfolio.hu, this is when the government can start to ease the restrictions. As a result,

all measures currently in effect are expected to remain in place even during Easter.

The website says that such a decision would be rational since the number of deaths, new infections, etc. is still rising steeply. That is why János Szlávik, the Head of Infectious Diseases Department at the South Pest Hospital Centre, said he would not exclude the possibility of even further restrictions to curb the virus. Furthermore, Easter is dangerous because of the many family visits.

If the curve of the infections starts to decline and the inoculation program shows the results mentioned above,

from April 7, schools and kindergartens can reopen, and it is also imaginable that people with immunity certificates can receive some special rights,

Portfolio.hu says. One of these can be that they will be exempted from the curfew between 8 pm and 5 am. The website speculated that they would even be allowed to drink or eat on the terraces of cafés and restaurants or book a room in a hotel.

However, if they want to wait three weeks until the immunity fully evolves, they have to wait until April 28. Based on each calculation method of the website,

by mid-June, 70 pc of the people living in Hungary can be immunised – that is the calculated final date of the full reopening.
