Belgium has declared Hungary a red country in terms of the coronavirus epidemic, which, according to information published on the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website on Tuesday, means that non-essential travel to Hungary is not allowed, writes MTI .
Belgium put Hungary on the red list after Hungary, with the exception of Czech, Polish and Slovak tourists, closed its borders to all foreigners on September 1.
In addition to Hungary, the Belgian red list includes some regions of Andorra, Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Spain and Great Britain, as well as Denmark, Finland, Malta and Romania.
At the same time, it is possible to enter the territory of Hungary without quarantine and virus tests, so that Belgians can return home without special measures, if they have not already done so.
The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) improved its epidemiological classification in Belgium on Tuesday. It was light orange in color, which meant it was epidemiologically risky but less serious in terms of infection. The reason for the classification valid since September 1 is that the number of infected per 100,000 inhabitants has fallen below 60, to 56.1 in the country of about 11.5 million inhabitants.

During the past week, an average of 431 people tested positive for the virus, a 12 percent decrease from the previous week. The number of hospital deliveries fell 41 percent to an average of 14.4 per day. There are currently 243 people in care, 71 of whom are receiving intensive care. Both show a significant decrease. The average daily number of deaths from the disease was 4, 44 percent less than the previous week. So far, 9,895 have been victims of the epidemic and 85,236 people have registered in Belgium since its inception.
