Gergely Gulyas said that if the number of those vaccinated reaches 2.5 million, the following changes regarding Hungary s pandemic response will come into force:

  • The curfew will last from 10 pm to 5 pm, instead of the current 8 pm to 5 pm
  • Stores may stay open until 9:30 pm, instead of the current 7 pm
  • All stores can open but only one customer per 10 square metres may be inside at a time,
  • Kidergartens and schools can reopen on 19 April, with the vaccination of teachers beginning on 1 April.

„We have been forced to endure the negative effects of the coronavirus for almost 13 months, but we must only hold out for another couple of weeks, thanks to the efficient vaccine procurement,” the minister added.
