Police continuously monitor compliance with extraordinary measures
The police are continuously monitoring compliance with the extraordinary measures, a staff member of the duty centre of the Operational Group responsible for the containment of the coronavirus infection said.
Regarding the restrictions on retail opening hours, he said they have cautioned 39 shop owners, have imposed onsite fines in 25 cases and have prosecuted 61 persons.
In the context of border traffic, he announced that from midnight they had introduced relief measures: commuters may use all open border crossing points on the Austrian-Hungarian border section. With this measure, they are seeking to make it possible for people to go to work. Regarding the Slovak border section, he said the border crossing points at Vámosszabadi, Somoskőújfalu, Bánréve and Sátoraljaújhely previously only open to passenger traffic are now also open to cargo traffic. However, in international transit traffic, only the Rajka, Parassapuszta and Tornyosnémeti border crossing points continue to remain available to heavy goods vehicles. At the same time, Mr Kiss pointed out that a condition of commuting is that upon entry into the country workers must present valid employer certificates or must be able to verify title or usufruct to landed property under cultivation.
Delays are expected in cargo traffic on the entry side at Tompa and Ártánd, while on the exit side at Csanádpalota where there are delays in passenger traffic as well, he said.
