Hungary has reported 11,289 new Covid-19 cases, its highest daily tally since the start of the pandemic, the government has said, according to Reuters.
Hungary, a country of 10 million people whose vaccination rate lags the European Union average, imposed new curbs on Thursday, a day before neighbour Austria, which also has a relatively low vaccination rate, announced a full lockdown.
Hungary will make booster shots mandatory for all healthcare workers and require mask-wearing in most indoor places from Saturday, Prime Minister Viktor Orban's chief of staff said.
