Masks to be made mandatory indoors from Saturday
From Saturday, the wearing of a mask in enclosed spaces will be compulsory, Gergely Gulyas, the prime minister's chief of staff, told a regular government news briefing on Thursday.
Gulyas also said booster jabs are now compulsory for health-care staff. Plans are also afoot for the same in state administration, he added.
Events with more than 500 people attending can still be attended with an immunity certificate, he said.
Also, mask-wearing will be mandatory wherever more than five people are regularly present in a shop. In schools, it will be up to head teachers to decide whether it is compulsory to wear a mask, he added.
