As Hungary ends its controversial "state of emergency / danger," critics remain suspicious about the powers Viktor Orbán’s government has gained from the coronavirus crisis. 

Government may still order a 'State of Health Emergency'

Parliament just passed a law sponsored by Gulyás on temporary health measures related to the epidemic and the state of epidemiological preparedness with 135 for, 54 against and 3 abstentions.

Under the law, the government may order a state of health emergency at the proposal of the chief medical officer.

Such an emergency can be called if people’s lives are endangered or if the fitness of health-care staff is compromised to an extent that demand for health care outstrips supply.

It also applies if hospitals are burdened to the extent that the quality of care is seriously compromised.

The law defines six months as the maximum period it can be applied, though the government can order an extension.

The law authorises armed Hungarian army personnel to carry out tasks related to health emergencies.
