Rules capping the number of guests and organizers at 500 at musical and dance performances, either outdoors or at enclosed venues, either public or open, will remain in place even after August 15, Gulyás said.

The government will provide a HUF 5.3 billion allocation for musicians as the coronavirus lockdown has put them into a difficult position. The recordings of events supported by the state will be made available to everyone, he added.

Gulyás said the government aims for schools to reopen on September 1 and for teaching to resume normally.
