Terraces Reopening in Hungary on Saturday, Curfew to Start at 11 PM
Hungary’s Terraces will be reopening on Saturday, according to Minister of the Prime Minister’s Office Gergely Gulyás’ statement in Thursday’s government press conference. Restaurants, cafés, and pubs will be allowed to provide outdoor service until 9:30 pm, and the curfew has been modified to require people to be home by 11 pm at the latest. While business will no doubt be booming this weekend, their long-term survivability is still being discussed due to the impact the pandemic has had.
There is no doubt that many have been avidly watching Hungary’s vaccination rate increase over the past few days, knowing that it is the determining factor of terraces reopening.
Hungary Reaches 3 Million Vaccinations, Reopening Continues?
Hungary has now reached
3 million vaccinations against the coronavirus, and despite infections and deaths remaining high, talks of further reopening are underway. The United Kingdom is also continuing its reopening, but its conditions appear much safer than the crisis in Hungary. It may be best for government officials to consider combatting the highest daily death rate per million in the world before lifting further restrictions.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán posted about the milestone to his Facebook page as soon as it was achieved. He had said in last week’s Kossuth Rádió broadcast that once Hungary reaches 3-3.5 million inoculated, “we can lift restrictions for those with immunity cards: hotels and cultural life can be reopened for them.”
