Budapest mayor proposes expanding free coronavirus testing

Budapest Mayor Gergely Karacsony on Thursday proposed expanding the scope of free testing for the coronavirus, in an open letter addressed to Prime Minister Viktor Orban. In the letter published on his Facebook page, Karacsony asked Orban about the government's plans to "expand testing and to make free testing accessible" for everyone needing it. "We clearly agree that no Hungarian citizen should lose their job, and no child should stay out of school because they cannot afford adhering to the state-approved protocol," Karacsony said.
