Watch: How Many Of Hungary’s Summer Festivals Can Still Happen?

A representative for the PM's office, Gergely Gulyas, told Euronews that it was realistic for mass events to take place only after five million vaccinations had been deployed.

But this information is not being seen as helpful because it is not possible to plan ahead and the biggest events have already been cancelled for the year - see the video below for more details about what could happen.
