Hungary will make a third booster shot against Covid-19 mandatory for all healthcare workers and will require protective mask wearing in most closed places from Saturday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's chief of staff has said, according to Reuters.

Gergely Gulyas also told a government briefing that only vaccines can provide protection against the coronavirus as case numbers are rising.

“The government's advice is that everyone should get a booster shot, which is possible to get four months after the second dose,” Gulyas said.
