BUDAPEST (Reuters) – Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Wednesday announced an easing of population movement restrictions outside Budapest, which has reported the most cases of coronavirus infections, saying shops will be allowed to reopen without time limits.

However, the wearing of masks covering the face will be mandatory in shops and on public transport, Orban said in a video posted on his Facebook page.

He said the easing of restrictions would be reviewed every two weeks.
