Viktor Orbán has repeatedly referred to Austria as our “laboratory”, and the steps introduced there also serve as an example for Hungary.

Coronavirus: the second wave, the second closure

Later than expected by many, but in mid-November, the Hungarian government also decided to try to curb the second wave of the coronavirus epidemic by introducing restrictions.

The first step is partial closure, but how effective it is is questionable. Follow our news!

In Austria, schools will close, smaller shops can remain open, but shopping malls where many people can gather must remove the blinds to slow the spread of the coronavirus, the Austrian news portal oe24.at reported on Friday morning.

– even in Hungary similar steps can be taken.

According to the Austrian news portal, the measures will be announced by Chancellor Sebastian Kurz on Saturday afternoon.

Schools will completely switch to digital education, only kindergartens will be able to remain open and, in some places, the lower grades of primary school;

Also, beauticians and masseurs cannot receive guests, but closing hair salons is still not a problem. The new measures will take effect at zero o’clock on Tuesday, according to oe24.at.
