Details about the next phase of easing in Hungary!

The official amendment to the decree has not been published yet in the Hungarian Gazette; however, some details can already be read on the government site. From these, we can find out what to expect in the next phase of easing restrictions in Hungary.

444.hu writes that due to the third wave of the coronavirus epidemic, the Hungarian government is extending certain measures currently in force. So, wearing a mask and keeping distance in public places will be mandatory even after April 19. In addition, the curfew, which will start at 10 a.m., will continue to apply.

Reaching 3.5 million vaccinated people will be a major milestone.

This is when the terraces and garden areas of the catering units can open. By law, these services can be open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. It is important to note that guests do not have to wear a mask, but waiters do. The operator of the catering unit is responsible for compliance with the rules. Violations of security measures may result in fines or the closure of the restaurant.

Guests who do not follow the rules can expect a fine.

The government will also abolish the public space fee to be paid to municipalities for terraces. This also helps the recovery of catering units.
