There are currently 126 people hospitalized with COVID-19, 23 of whom are on ventilators.
Since the outbreak of the pandemic, 6,130,295 coronavirus tests have been performed in Hungary.
After reaching the 5 million vaccinated mark, another stage of reopening has taken effect. While many restrictions have been lifted, some protective measures remain in place as the virus is still present.
Mask wearing is still mandatory where those vaccinated and not vaccinated against COVID-19 meet indoors, including public transport and stores.
The same rules apply to watching matches on projectors set up in public areas such as terraces, which means spectators may watch the UEFA European Football Championship without an immunity certificate.
Once vaccinations reach 5.5 million, masks will no longer be required indoors and people will be allowed to go to hotels, restaurants, baths and water parks without an immunity certificate. However, masks will remain mandatory in the healthcare sector. The use of immunity certificates will be maintained for mass events, such as sports events, concerts, festivals and night clubs.
