Gulyas: Hungary to have 5m vaccinated by last week of May

Five million Hungarians are expected to have received at least their first jab by the final week of May, the prime minister's chief of staff said on Thursday. Meanwhile, the cabinet is mulling further easing pandemic-related restrictions, Gergely Gulyas told a regular press briefing. Gulyas said that under the government's plan, Hungarian citizens living abroad will also be entitled to receive a Hungarian immunity certificate from next week. Hungarians inoculated against Covid-19 in member states of the European Union, NATO or the OECD, and in Russia or China, can apply to obtain a Hungarian immunity certificate after submitting proof of their inoculation to the Hungarian authorities, he said.
