The government extends the “Czech example”.

Coronavirus: the second wave

Half a year after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in the spring, the second wave of the pandemic has arrived. The radical increase in the number of infected is forcing more and more countries to re-impose restrictions, despite the fact that the world economy has not even recovered from the effects of the spring outbreak. According to the posters, the second wave also reached Hungary. Follow our news!

After September 1, Czechs, Poles and Slovaks will also be able to enter Hungary with a negative coronavirus test, the foreign and foreign minister said on Monday night. According to Péter Szijjártó, several new Hungarian defense measures, which came into effect from midnight, were discussed in person in Bled on Monday and then by phone. Based on all this, it was decided to extend the “Czech example” to the entire V4.

Thus, Czechs, Poles and Slovaks who have previously booked their accommodation in Hungary can enter Hungary with a negative test – no more than five days – while Hungarians who have previously booked accommodation in the Visegrád countries will also need a negative test after returning home.

In the case of the “Czech example” mentioned by Szijjártó, non-epidemiological considerations led to the decision: it was requested by the Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš de Viktor Orbán.

According to the regulations on the tightening of border epidemiological controls, which will take effect on Tuesday, non-Hungarian citizens cannot enter the country from September 1, unless they have a permanent residence permit or a residence permit. residence in Hungary for more than 90 days (in this case, family members can enter). an athlete or sports professional, if they are a freight carrier, if they are on an official visit, or anyone who can demonstrate that they have been infected with Covid-19 in the last six months.

Thus, a foreigner could not enter the country in principle, for example, for tourism.
