Coronavirus - Orban: Easing of restrictions not yet within reach

A decision to ease restrictions introduced to curb the coronavirus pandemic is not yet within reach, with the possible exception of the ban on visits to elderly care homes, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Wednesday. Speaking after the second round of consultations with epidemiological experts in a three-day series, Orban noted in a video posted on Facebook that administering China's Sinopharm vaccine started in Hungary on Wednesday, "an important day ... it gives me hope too that leaders of the protection efforts may also have their turn sometime next week."
