This is what Atlatszo reported last week

Opportunistic traders and slugghis authorities let fake and faulty masks flood Hungary

There can be serious faults with masks marketed as FFP2 in Hungarian webshops, that are accompanied by questionable certificate paperwork. It is rather the exception to find a face mask advertised as up to this standard and having certainly the right documentation, Átlátszó has found while checking out the virtual inventories of available products. Among the masks accompanied by questionable certificates, several have failed tests run by various state agencies in different European countries. One mask was shown to let at least 53 percent of particles through, as opposed to the 6 percent maximum of the standard. After Átlátszó has inquired, several resellers have taken their product off the internet. One trader, speaking anonymously, told Átlátszó that he has got zero help from Hungarian authorities in understanding and verifying the papers.

Our Covid-19 tracking data feature proved there is real demand for datavisualisation in Hungary

The success of the site can be measured not only by users: more than 1 million page impressions and more than 8000 Facebook-shares (also by politicians, researchers, and doctors) in 3 months. More importantly most of our readers used our site not paralel with the official governmental coronavirus news site, but as the only authentic source of data on the Covid-19 pandemic in Hungary.

UNHCR: Access to asylum further at stake in Hungary
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is concerned about a legislative development in Hungary, the adoption on 17 June of the Act LVIII on Transitional Rules and Epidemiological Preparedness related to the Cessation of the State of Danger in response to the COVID-19 situation. This enactment further undermines the effective access to territory and asylum for those fleeing wars and persecution which had been already seriously constrained before.
