Until an effective drug or vaccine is found, the coronavirus will continue to plague our daily lives for months, “with successes and setbacks,” Chancellor Kurz said in an open letter to all Austrians.
Foreign Minister Sebastián Kurz (ÖVP) thanked the Austrian population in an open letter. “Austria has overcome this crisis so far better than many other countries and the reason for this is all of them,” Kurz said in the letter published on Easter.
At the same time, however, he notes that the corona virus “will be with us in the coming months.”
Briefly in a letter to Easter: gradually approach a new normal
It would be “wrong to believe that the virus has been defeated,” said the chancellor in the letter to the “Austrians.” Until an effective medicine or vaccine is found, the virus will accompany the daily life of the population, “with successes and setbacks.” “Until then, we will do our best to gradually move towards a new normal,” the chancellor wrote.
Economically, one also wants to get out of the crisis “as quickly as possible.” First, small stores will reopen “under strict conditions” next week. In the following months, “all other areas of economic and social life will gradually reappear.”
More restrictions, but “as freely as possible”
“We will have to adapt our behavior along this path,” says Kurz: “We will keep our distance, we will wear mouth and nose protection, we will avoid crowds of people and we will continue to work from home whenever possible.” The Federal Government would proceed with the “correct measure”, he promised: “With the greatest possible freedom, but also with all the necessary restrictions.”
Chancellor again discourages family gatherings on holidays
“Our Easter celebrations take place this year under special circumstances,” wrote Kurz. The measures taken “would demand a lot from us.” But the path is “necessary” to avoid “the worst”. “Four out of five people infected with a crown have no symptoms and therefore do not know they are sick, but they can still infect other people for whom the disease can be fatal.”
That is one of the reasons why the virus is so dangerous for our society, “argued the chancellor and again requested not to meet anyone during the holidays. It was” painful, “said Kurz:” But we all do it for good reason. . We want to look together again at Easter next year and say: “It is good that we have defeated the Corona virus.”
