Mask-Wearing in Hungary No Longer Mandatory in Health & Social-Care Institutions

The mandatory wearing of masks in Hungary will no longer apply from May 1 in view of the country’s benign epidemiological situation, the National Public Health Centre (NNK) announced on Friday.

From Monday, neither employees of health and social-care institutions nor visitors will have to wear masks in these settings.

Hospital heads will still have the authority to mandate the use of masks in hospitals or certain departments within the hospital.
