Vienna / Innsbruck – Health Minister Rudolf Anschober (Greens) is confident that Tirol and Vorarlberg could again be removed from the list of German travel warnings in the near future. The relevant value, the incidence of seven days per 100,000 inhabitants, has now fallen below for the first time, he was pleased after the Council of Ministers on Wednesday. He described the warnings of a second lockdown as “duck.”
Travel advisories could be “soon” withdrawn
If the trend continues in the two tourist strongholds, Anschober believes that lifting travel advisories “soon” is possible. According to the latest official figures, Tirol is 49.6 here, Vorarlberg 44.3. Across Austria, the seven-day incidence is currently 54 0 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Vienna is in the lead with 115.8. Again he called on the federal states to take precise measures independently in addition to those of the federal government. This could also be the gastronomic register, if data protection concerns are allayed Currently, managing contact persons in Vienna is taking you too long.

The goal is to cut the number of infections in half.
In general, a high number of infections has been shown to have a negative economic impact, according to the Minister of Health, with which the Minister of Finance, Gernot Blümel (ÖVP) also agreed. The target should be cut in half de facto in the coming weeks. Currently, the figures are too high, but at least stabilization has been achieved as of September 20. Anschober currently reported 772 new infections in Austria and 728 newly recovered. There are 8,370 current cases and 496 hospitalizations, 90 of which are in intensive care. The monthly average for September was 14,576 in daily tests.
Rumor about a second lock: “There really is nothing”
The assertion by the head of the FPÖ, Norbert Hofer, that the government was preparing a second blockade on October 23, Anschober rejected as incorrect. “This is not just a duck, this is a whole duck farm. There really is nothing in that. “According to the new legal rules, a shutdown is only possible if the main committee of the National Council agrees and Austria is about to collapse the health care system.” Fortunately, we are miles away from a collapse, “said the Minister of Health.
