Hungary to introduce new restrictions from Wednesday

Hungary's government is to tighten measures in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus as hospitals might struggle to handle the growing case load, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Facebook on Monday. If granted special powers in a parliamentary vote on Tuesday, the government will extend the curfew introduced earlier to be in force between 8 pm and 5 am, and restrict opening hours of shops and other services starting at midnight on Tuesday, he said.
