What kind of events can be attended without an immunity certificate in Hungary?

In Hungary, immunity certificates are still required when attending certain events, but people are allowed to go to hotels, stores, restaurants, baths, and water parks without an immunity certificate. Nonetheless, it is not easy to gain an overview of the continuously changing epidemiological restrictions and rules, so we have collected the latest rules concerning events.

According to the relevant government decree, sports events and concerts larger than 500 people can only be attended with an immunity certificate. As we have reported before, several Hungarian universities require their students to have a valid immunity certificate if they want to move into the dorms.

Theatres, cinemas, circuses, religious events, and village festivals, however, can be attended without an immunity certificate.

Restrictions do not necessarily depend on the number of people attending the event, writes Infostart.

On September 3, Vígszínház announced on Facebook that spectators could not go to the theatre without an immunity certificate, but the next day, they confirmed that, according to the relevant government decree, theatre performances can in fact be attended by people without an immunity certificate since spectators book their seats in advance and stay there for the duration of the performance. The situation is the same in the case of the National Theatre, the Madách Theatre, and the Metropolitan Grand Circus.
