Health Minister Rudolf Anschober (Greens) has promised “greater regional differentiation, even within district boundaries” with respect to the Corona traffic light. For him, it’s about making demarcation even more specific, not just at the district level. “Where there is a need. That can be half a district or three communities,” Anschober said in Innsbruck on Saturday.
That has already been the goal, stressed the Minister of Health. As a possible illustrative example of even stronger regional differentiation, Anschober cited Lower Austria, for example, where there is an area stretching from the Vienna area “to the mountains.” Then there could be a different virological situation, which would ultimately have to exist for a differentiation. “So there is a possibility of action to the extent that the yellow position of this district can be reduced, if it is justified in terms of content, to five, six, seven cities where the issue is really at home. So, the whole district it does not have to be affected “declared the minister.
Corona traffic light: Anschober warns of “Fleckerlteppich”
At the same time, Anschober also warned of an “uneven carpet”. Differentiating between communities with slightly different infection levels that are “close together” is “not feasible”. A “logical differentiation and demarcation” is needed. All of these plans are part of the “post development process” in which the traffic light project is located. In any case, “they have not reached the terminal stage.” Anchober called on federal state experts to “actively contribute to the decision-making process.” In addition to the more specific delimitation, it is also about anchoring the tourist areas more strongly and taking into account the commuter flows.
Review of Upper Austria: Anschober laid back
Regarding the harsh criticism of the city of Linz and the state of Upper Austria for the yellow position of the state capital, the minister remained calm. The committee of experts had made “fact-based proposals” or recommendations, and he was implementing them. Anchober did not want to give a specific reason for assessing the situation in Linz, but: he had inferred from public discussion, in which these experts had also participated, that the cumulus formations had “existed for a relatively long time and were relatively stable” in Linz. It is not a new cluster in which one can be optimistic that “it will be resolved in two or three weeks”. Apparently this was the main reason. The reaction of those politically responsible in Upper Austria “surprised” him, according to the minister, himself from Upper Austria. After all, until a week ago, the same framework conditions now associated with the yellow position would have applied in the state with regard to the protection of the mouth and nose.
I can understand that the representatives of the regions that have been “yellow” are not enthusiastic about that. But nobody understands the argument. It is time to return to factual politics. Only together can we manage to continue to overcome the health crisis well

Regulations for winter tourism should be available soon
Regarding the national regulation in terms of winter tourism and après-ski, Anschober confirmed the information from the LH Günther Platter ÖVP) of Tyrol, according to which it should be presented in mid-September. Furthermore, they want to coordinate this issue with Austria’s neighboring countries, “not only to avoid distortion of competition, but also for common protection.”
