Germany’s management of the epidemic has proven to be successful, allowing the government to lift restrictions on passenger travel, Szijjártó said.

German nationals will be allowed entry into Hungary, and Hungarians who return home from Germany will not have to undergo mandatory quarantine, Szijjártó said.

In a separate Facebook post late Friday, Szijjártó said all border crossings on Hungary’s frontiers with Slovakia and Austria would be open from Friday evening.
