  • Hungary has the 8th worst mortality rate related to the COVID-19

Over one million people have received at least their first jab, the website reported on Tuesday.

Fully 1,047,045 people had received their first jab by Tuesday, and 314,485 were fully inoculated, the website said.

Most infections have been registered in Budapest (89,777) and Pest County (62,605), followed by Győr-Moson-Sopron (27,202) Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén (27,045), and Hajdú-Bihar counties (26,149). The county least affected by the infection is Tolna (10,363).

Hungary closes down until March 22 to curb Covid-19 spread

Hungary close most shops and services for two weeks and kindergartens and primary schools for the next month in an effort to curb the third wave of coronavirus infections. MORE INFO HERE.

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 22.

Kindergartens and primary schools will be closed from March 8 until April 7.

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, he said. 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.
