24.hu reported that the infection got into Hungary with massive spreading from several European regions. When the restrictions were introduced, many people from abroad returned to Hungary as soon as possible, which also meant that more than half of them carried the virus and gave it away to other people. In some rare cases, scientists also found that the virus arrived from the USA and China.

Local infections outside the capital appeared somewhere in the middle of March. The experts emphasised that the restrictions of Central-Europe were announced just in time to prevent massive spreading and to avoid Hungary and other countries to become the centres of the infection.
