At its meeting on Friday, the government reviewed the epidemiological situation and related measures. The second wave of the epidemic has also reached Hungary, the Government Information Center said.

In their statement, they wrote that the government measures the success of defense in human lives, so compliance with entry restrictions and general protective measures are paramount. Attention was drawn to the need to ensure the safety of the most vulnerable older people at the same time, keep school-age children safe and ensure the smooth functioning of the economy.

According to the information, the government summarized the experiences of the entry restrictions that came into force on September 1 and decided to continue allowing the entry of companies for the proper functioning of the Hungarian economy.

The rules for testing abroad have also been clarified. On this basis, upon entering Hungary, a PCR test performed in a Schengen Member State is recognized as equivalent to the national test.

At the government meeting, it was also decided to extend the strict conditions for admission to sporting events in Hungary to cultural events. Regarding the spectators, it was written: The spectator of an international sporting event and cultural event to be held in Hungary can enter the country only if he has a negative result in the PCR test, has a ticket for the event and undergoes a health exam. You must also leave the country within 72 hours of entry.

They added: the exact regulations will be published in the Hungarian Gazette on Friday.
