Orban warns new protection measures needed in light of upsurge abroad

Protection measures against coronavirus entering Hungary from abroad must be in place, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in a radio interview on Friday, adding that every new infection in the country could be linked to a foreign "movement". Commenting on the upsurge of the epidemic in several countries such as Croatia, Serbia, Romania and Slovenia, Orban said "Hungary is safe", but protection measures against any reintroduction of the virus from abroad were needed. "Anything that happens in Europe affects us, too," he said.
