Today, another shipment of the Moderna vaccine has arrived, and this vaccine can also be used by GPs. Additional Moderna and AstraZeneca vaccines will be shipped to government offices during these hours and then to GPs. Today, we also received 218,400 vaccines from AstraZeneca, which will be delivered to GPs on Sunday. More than four hundred people are vaccinated during the long weekend
– explained Ágnes Galgóczi. The head of the epidemiology department asked everyone to follow the rules at Easter and for everyone to celebrate in a close family circle, keeping the epidemiological regulations there too.
Robert Kiss, deputy director of the guard center, said 86 of the 128 border crossings were still closed. He drew attention to the fact that new rules will come into force on the border between Croatia and Hungary from today.
You can still enter Croatia with only a negative test, but the authorities already accept antigen-based tests. The quarantine obligation can be activated by a vaccination certificate or a medical certificate of previous infection.
Explained the lieutenant colonel of the police. Robert Kiss said that the last day
- Police officers took action in 721 cases for violating the rules for wearing masks.
- 677 cases were attended due to the lack of public use of masks.
- In six cases, a mask was not used in stores.
- Measures were taken against 28 people in public transport.
- Police officers took action in 520 cases for violation of the curfew.
- 80 police actions were taken for violations of traffic rules.
- To date, 7,543 new official home quarantines have been ordered and a total of 55,915 shortages are in effect.
Robert Kiss said that on the long Easter weekend, many turn to their loved ones, but at the same time they warn everyone to be careful and ask everyone to follow the epidemiological rules. As he said, in addition to controlling traffic aspects, the police also verify compliance with security measures.
