During today’s Operational Group press conference, Róbert Kiss, Lieutenant Colonel of the Hungarian Police Force, said that under new measures coming into effect on May 4, everyone living in Budapest and Pest County will only be able to leave their home for good reason, “those who violate this rule will be committing an offense,” he said.
Kiss added that residents in Budapest and Pest County will not be able to visit their relatives in the countryside while restrictions are in place.
Kiss also highlighted that the authorities have asked people over the age of 65 to leave their homes only when absolutely necessary, even in the countryside, as they are the most at risk.
