Schools in Hungary will remain closed until the end of May and events with more than 500 participants cannot be held until 15 August, prime minister Viktor Orban’s chief of staff, Gergely Gulyas, said on Thursday.
Orban announced on Wednesday that some restrictions outside Budapest imposed to contain the coronavirus outbreak will be lifted starting next week.
Existing restrictions will continue for now in the capital, which has reported the highest number of coronavirus infections and deaths in the country.
All schools across Hungary have been shut down in a bid to slow down the spread of the pandemic COVID-19 disease caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.
