Hungary announced on Sunday 1,070 new cases of coronavirus infection detected in the last 24 hours, a record of daily reports for the country, reports DPA, assumed by Agerpres.
Six people have died from COVID-19 in the last 24 hours in Hungary, a country with a population of almost 10 million, and the total number of deaths attributed to the new coronavirus by authorities has reached 683.
The total number of infections since the beginning of the pandemic has reached 17,990 in Hungary.
In the last seven days, Hungary has announced 5,681 new cases of infection.
The number of infections detected has increased significantly since the end of August, and experts attribute this increase to the relaxed behavior of people during the summer months, when the infection rate was lower.
Hungary closed its borders on September 1
Hungary has closed its borders since September 1 to foreigners, citing an increase in the number of infections. It later announced exceptions for tourists from the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland. Only those who have recently been tested are allowed access, which shows that they are not carriers of the coronavirus. The move was criticized by the European Commission, which warned the Budapest government of any discrimination based on nationality and stressed the importance of “the integrity of the Schengen area.”
Under what conditions can Romanians enter Hungary?
Romanians can transit through the neighboring country, but they cannot visit Hungary, many of those who had bought holidays there abandon them. The duration of the transit cannot exceed 24 hours and people must not present specific symptoms of COVID-19 infection.
Likewise, Romanian citizens must present a document unequivocally indicating the purpose of the trip and the destination country, respectively, having secured entry into the territory of the neighboring state of Hungary, located on the transit route to the destination country. .
