Hungary will end its coronavirus-related emergency rule earlier than planned, Cabinet Minister Gergely Gulyas said.

His statement comes just two days after lawmakers extended the legal framework through the end of summer. Before asking parliament to rescind it, the government will review what special powers it will need to maintain due to the coronavirus pandemic, Gulyas told a briefing on Thursday.
