BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary has loosened several COVID-19 pandemic restrictions for people holding a government-issued immunity card. As of Saturday, individuals with the plastic cards may enter indoor dining rooms, hotels, theaters, cinemas, spas, gyms, libraries, museums, zoos and other recreational venues. People who have received at least one vaccine dose and those who have recovered from COVID-19 are eligible for the immunity cards, which must be presented at establishments before entry. Businesses can be issued heavy fines if they allow non-cardholders to enter. But while millions of Hungarians got the opportunity to return to some semblance of their normal lives Saturday, many eligible Hungarians reported they were still waiting to receive their certificates.
