Hungary has reached the milestone of 2.5 million vaccinees, which, according to the government’s restart plan, means that the phasing out of Covid-19 restrictions can begin.
So, the following rules have come into force as of 7 April:
“We have been living our lives in conditions reminiscent of wartime for a year, with restrictions, curfews and personal losses. The virus is waging a war against us, and our only weapon that promises victory is the vaccine,” stressed Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in a Facebook video address, quoted by hirado.hu, urging Hungarians to register at vakcinainfo.gov.hu website and take the jab.
The Covid-19 operative body informed yesterday that 3.9 million Hungarians had already registered for the vaccine while 1.6 million of them were still waiting to get their first shot. On the other hand, according to many experts, this 25 percent of vaccinees is very far from the desired 70-80 percent needed to achieve herd immunity.
The return of schools and kindergartens on 19 April will kick-start the second phase of reopening. Several organisations and experts, however, have called on the government to reverse the restrictions rollback, reports Daily News Hungary. The epidemic curve may have reached a plateau, but the number of deaths (22 409 since the start of the pandemic) and patients who are treated in hospitals remains very high. In a similar scenario, Poland has decided to postpone the reopening, yet Orbán is adamant.
The Prime Minister has found an ally in Zoltán Lomnici Jr., a constitutional lawyer, who told Kossuth Radio that, given the Israeli example, the schedule set out in the government decree can be adhered to. He stressed that while in Hungary the vaccination rate is 24.19 percent, in Spain and Luxembourg, for example, this figure is 12 percent, which is below the EU average.
