The Hungarian government has decided to lift quarantine rules from Friday for Slovak citizens who travel to Hungary and stay for no longer than 24 hours, the foreign minister has said.
The measure is in response to the Slovak government’s decision to allow its citizens to travel to a neighbouring country without requiring them to enter quarantine on their return, Péter Szijjártó said on his Facebook page.
