Orban: Easing restrictions requires vaccinations to reach 2.5 m

Coronavirus-related restrictions could be eased when the number of vaccinated Hungarians reaches 2.5 million, Prime Minister Viktor Orban told public Kossuth Radio on Friday morning. Current restrictions will remain in place unchanged for at least one more week from Monday, the prime minister said. He added that the decision had been made for one week only, becuase "much could change in a week". He also said that Easter could be a risky period because the spread of the epidemic was linked to the number of contacts people made.
