Hungary COVID-19 protective measures prolonged until 19 April 2021

We would like to give you a short update on the changes to the regulations relating to the pandemic. The current Hungary COVID-19 protective measures have been extended until 19.04.2021, and we expect this deadline may be further prolonged.

When planning to enter Hungary, you need to keep in mind the regulations posted on our blog.
Here are the in-country regulations that have been introduced or modified after the government of Hungary stated that its target of giving the first vaccination dose to 2.5 million had been reached.

Curfew is now between 22:00 and 05:00 hours.

Restrictions on services are now terminated; premises that deliver services requiring personal presence no longer have to be closed, and services can be provided and utilized, though the obligatory closing time for such businesses is between 21:30 and 05:00.

Exception: for restaurants and cafés, the restrictions are unchanged; they can only offer purchases for takeout or delivery only.

Shops need to undertake thorough observance of the below restrictions. Shops that do not undertake such measures shall remain closed.

Restrictions to be maintained:

For every 10 sqm of the shopping area, one customer is allowed.
The operator of the shop must indicate at the entrance the number of customers allowed into the shop.
Operators of shops and of shopping malls must ensure compliance with the protective measures.
Operators of shops must ensure that customers queueing keep 1.5m distance (except for members of the same household); hand sanitizers are available for use, and surfaces and carts/baskets are disinfected regularly.
In counting customers, children under 14 and helpers of people above 65 and of people with disabilities are not considered.
