When the vaccination rate reaches 2.5 million people, a restart may begin, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced in his regular radio interview on Friday morning.

Now let’s ignore the fact that “in a weekend” a million people, or that we can vaccinate all those registered before Easter. Let’s look at the numbers that show that in total

  • 528 thousand in the last two weeks,
  • while in the last week 184 thousand

the Hungarian authorities were able to vaccinate. That is, there is a slight slowdown, but it can be said that if the vaccination is carried out at the same rate,

sometime in mid-April, the prime minister may have said that 2.5 million had been vaccinated.

If we look at the average of the last two weeks, on April 11, if we look at the average of the last seven days, on April 17. This is what we look at, about a month.

The prime minister announced on Friday that the restrictions currently in place will certainly remain unchanged from Monday to another week. Viktor Orbán spoke a few days ago that it was unpredictable when there would be an opening. If there is anyone who agrees to forecast the opening date, we will also ask for next week’s lottery numbers, the prime minister said on Sunday.

According to a poll commissioned by the Index in February, most support a cautious opening. The survey also found that overall, 23 percent of those surveyed rated the epidemic as successful, 41 percent had mixed emotions, and one in three respondents felt the measures were unsuccessful.
