There is only one way to stop the virus, and that is vaccination - stated Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in an exclusive interview with the public media. The Prime Minister emphasized: now all efforts must be focused on vaccination. He also said that 3,760,000 people have already registered for vaccination. He added that it is expected that two and a half million people will be vaccinated after Easter, which will allow the gradual reopening to begin.

To gradually reopen the country

When asked why the limit for reopening was set at 2.5 million, Viktor Orbán said that the country should not be reopened until those over 65 have been vaccinated. "It is our moral duty."

The Prime Minister asked everyone to follow the rules, the rules for keeping a distance and wearing a mask. The current British virus mutant is much more aggressive than before.

The infection is massive

"The infection is massive and the closures and restrictions can only slow it down. There is no stopping it. In the spring, it was enough to introduce restrictions, but this is not such a virus. Here now, we can only slow down if we limit," he said.

There is only one medicine that can slow down or kill the virus, and that is vaccination, so we must now focus all our efforts on vaccination.

The Prime Minister said that many of us have a serious loss, which affects all of us. When we have curbed the epidemic, it is not only necessary to restart the country economically, but also to restart social life.

"Everyone has lost their serenity, their cheerfulness, maybe even their happiness," Viktor Orbán said.

The virus not only harms human life, but also destroys jobs and attacks the economy. The reopening of shops, factories, and hotels does not happen overnight, so it is important that people know what to expect. Parents also need to know when to take the child to school or kindergarten.

"We have to protect and vaccinate at the same time and help people plan to reopen their personal lives," he said.

Don't listen to anti-vaccination politicians

The vaccination rate in Hungary is 12 percent, above the EU average, and currently stands at 20 percent, the broadcast said.

The faster we vaccinate, the sooner the number of illnesses and deaths decreases. That's why it's important not to listen to anti-vaccination voices. Agitating against vaccination is more than a mistake, it is more of a crime.

Those who do not get vaccinated because they listened to anti-vaccination politicians or fake doctors can easily die. The responsibility lies with those who spoke against vaccination. It is seriously irresponsible if someone dissuades others from getting vaccinated, he said.
