Abstract
Due to the social distancing measures ordered as protection against mass
infection during the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak, most Hungarian families were
confined to home quarantine. Schools, kindergartens, and nursery schools were
closed between 16 March and early June. Because grandparents belonged to
one of the most vulnerable groups, families were asked not to involve them
in childcare until the end of the pandemic in order to avoid their infection by
younger family members. Companies switched to using the home office when
possible, and the government asked the population not to leave their homes
except for essential reasons. As a result, many parents worked from home and
provided care for their children at the same time.
