Health Minister Anschober is optimistic: for him, exit restrictions are the “last absolute measure” in the fight against Corona.
Although Corona’s new traffic lights in four cities – Vienna, Linz, Graz and Kufstein – have been yellow since Thursday, Health Minister Rudolf Anschober does not currently assess the epidemic situation in Austria as threatening.
“However, currently we do not have a high number of infections,” says the Green politician in an interview with the news magazine “profil” and adds a metaphor: “We have every reason to believe that we can be optimistic. Like the rabbit in them To stare at the snake would be very wrong. “
“Absolutely last measure”
Although the amendment to the Epidemic Act would make exit restrictions possible, Anschober does not believe that such cuts in the lives of Austrians could be necessary again: “This is the absolute last measure if all else fails, and I am very sure that that we can counter them. I’ll never have to wear Corona again. “
Additionally, Anschober has commissioned a health impact assessment to assess collateral damage from fighting the virus. “We await the result by the end of the year. I would like to learn something about what happened,” says Anschober in the “profile”.
Regarding the controversial reform of the epidemic law, the minister wants to approach his critics: “In the draft we have formulated with relative softness what epidemiological situation entails certain measures. That needs to be clarified.”
