In addition to maintaining the measures taken so far, additional protection measures are needed to reduce the incidence of coronavirus diseases and the burden on hospitals - according to a Hungarian government statement.
A curfew takes effect on Wednesday from zero o'clock – everyone needs to be home between 8 pm and 5 am. One case of exemption from the curfew is work, which, however, needs to be justified.
All gatherings are forbidden. Restaurants van only operate takeaway service. The administrative burden of home delivery is reduced by the government and taxi drivers can be involved in the task. Factory canteens may be open.
Shops, with the exception of pharmacies and petrol stations, can stay open until 7 pm and then open at 5 am at the earliest when the curfew expires. Providers and services not covered by this regulation (such as hairdressers, masseurs, personal trainers) may operate normally under the curfew rules.
Hotels are not allowed to accommodate tourists, only guests arriving for business, economic or educational purposes.
It is forbidden to hold any kind of event, including cultural events as well as Christmas fairs - religious gatherings are exempt from the rule.
Sports matches must be held behind closed gates. Individual outdoor sports are allowed. Under applicable law, competitive athletes may not be restricted in this activity.
The use of leisure facilities is prohibited, including in particular fitness rooms, indoor swimming pools, museums, libraries, cinemas and zoos, skating rinks.
