In view of the increasing number of infections, the Hungarian national government is tightening the crown regulations and closing the country’s borders as of September 1.
This was announced by Foreign Minister Gergely Gulyas in Budapest on Friday. Foreign citizens can only enter Hungarian territory with justified exceptions.
The closure is intended to minimize the risk of the virus being introduced, as most infections can be traced back to residence abroad, Gulyas said. Hungarian citizens returning to Hungary, on the other hand, must remain in quarantine for 14 days, unless they have two negative corona tests that were performed two days apart. Transit corridors are insured, Gulyas stressed.
The UEFA Super Cup takes place
Despite the closure of the border, the UEFA Super Cup between Champions League winners Bayern Munich and Europa League winners FC Sevilla will take place on September 24 at the Puskas Arena in Budapest. According to UEFA’s plan, both teams will each receive 3,000 tickets for their fans. However, these should only fly in possession of two negative corona tests. They would then take buses directly to the stadium and after the match they would return to the airport in the same way, the minister said.
Gulyas himself was in quarantine until Friday. He had participated in an event last Saturday where one of the participants tested positive for the crown afterwards. However, two subsequent tests were negative.
132 new infections in Hungary
In Hungary, with a population of around 10 million people, the number of new infections on Thursday was 132 in 24 hours. Currently, masks are required in closed public spaces with the exception of restaurants, and free spaces must also be respected.
