Hungary’s government on Sunday said it was barring travel from Africa, most of Asia apart from China and Japan, and restricting entry from several European countries after worldwide spikes in coronavirus cases.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s Chief of Staff Gergely Gulyas said that Hungarian health officials have placed 154 countries into three risk categories based on numbers of coronavirus infections.
He told reporters in Budapest that they need to protect their security so that the virus is not introduced from abroad as the level of active infection cases at home is falling, and must be kept like that.
Entry into Hungary would be barred for citizens from countries assessed as red from Tuesday midnight, including all African and Asian countries apart from China and Japan.
