Schützenhöfer wants controls in the private sector
Due to the persistently high number of infections, the Governor of Styria, Hermann Schützenhöfer (ÖVP), demands in today’s KURIER a “constitutionally viable way” to be able to intervene in the case of violations of Crown rules in the private sector – ” for certain cases, during certain times. ” With health challenges like Corona there are “restrictions on freedom,” he said. “I don’t want to look in the bedroom, but when you have excesses at private parties in a basement or in a garden shed, you have to be able to solve it.”
Health Minister Rudolf Anschober (Greens) immediately rejected Graz’s request. The Covid Measures Act excludes controls in private housing areas, and that is also “fundamentally correct,” Anschober said Tuesday in S1– “Morning newspaper”. He believed that “the vast majority of people are capable of following clear recommendations.”
