Hungary eases coronavirus restrictions after two month lockdown. Now Hungary entered “phase 2” of its lockdown, as companies reopen with social distancing measures in place except in Budapest and the county around because there are the most infected persons.

Hungarians must wear face masks on public transportation and in public spaces. Pubs and restaurant are open but they can accept the guest in open space only.
Here all big gatherings till 15th August cancelled but the Szeged city planning a big festival just after. So, we have good chance to hold the event. The last decision to go or not will be 10th July but we are hoping the best.
