The Hungarians will be able to get out of the 14-day self-isolation only if they have two negative tests on Covid-19, Gergely Gulyas said . Exceptions to the entry ban apply to the passage of military convoys, humanitarian workers, and business and diplomatic travel. “The number of infections has increased and most of them come from abroad,” Gulyas told a news conference. He says restrictions are needed to start the school year next week and to protect people and the economy. Hungary reported 132 new infections on Friday, the highest daily record since the peak of the pandemic. The country records a total of 5,511 infected and 614 dead. Nationalist Orban, who has been in power for a decade, faces the biggest challenges in his rule. The Hungarian economy fell 13.6 percent in the second quarter of this year. Hungary began easing restrictions in May. “We would not like to reintroduce closure measures,” Gulyas said. Budapest should host the Super Cup match between European champions Bayern and European League winners Seville in September. All the matches of the final stages of these competitions were played without an audience, but UEFA decided that up to 30 percent of the capacity of the Puskas Arena, which can accommodate 67,215 fans, may be filled. Hungarian authorities are considering measures under which fans could be at the match. Gulyas said UEFA plans to allow 3,000 Bayern and Seville fans to come to the stadium. One option being considered is for fans to have two negative tests on Covid-19 at the airport, to be transported to the stadium afterwards and returned to the airport after the match. Gulyas says the government has not yet decided on the measures and is also negotiating with UEFA.
