Hungary to ease virus curbs as vaccine rollout progresses
Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban said parts of the service economy will reopen as scheduled on Saturday as the country's Covid-19 vaccination rate surpasses 40 per cent, adding he would slowly refocus on kick-starting economic growth, Reuters reports.
The range of services reopening will include hotels, indoor restaurants, theatres, cinemas, gyms, sports venues, swimming pools, museums, libraries and zoos, Orban said, confirming earlier plans.
Orban who, to criticism from Brussels and from domestic political opponents, has imported vaccines from China and Russia that have yet to receive EU approval, told public radio there were enough shots in the country to inoculate everyone who has registered for them.
