As reported, the crown federal traffic light commission on Thursday classified the state capital, Linz, and five other districts (Wels-Stadt, Rohrbach, Linz-Land, Vöcklabruck and Gmunden) as the “orange” traffic light color. The school traffic light remains yellow in all orange districts, he said on Friday from both the state and the education directorate. Therefore, we will not switch to distance education for the time being. The chains of infection are currently easy to understand and the clearance rate is high, justifies the LHStv. Christine Haberlander (ÖVP), why you don’t currently see the need to tighten. But he calls on all Austrian Highs to adhere to the existing measures.
before the mayor of Linz Klaus Luger and Councilor for Health Michael Raml has already announced that it is for the city and its inhabitants will not change anything. Stronger measures are not currently being considered and “with due caution it is not necessary,” he said in a broadcast.
A “partial lock” would be disproportionate, as the situation is different from spring: “Today we are testing many more times, which of course also requires higher numbers.” Last week, for example, it would have shown that the municipal health authorities, together with the Upper Austrian crisis team, have the contagion process in the state capital under control. As of Friday at 10 am, Linz had 197 active Covid-19 infections. 784 people were in quarantine. According to Luger, the city police command also verifies compliance with official segregation.
“Nonsense political marketing tool”
“I still hold my position that the federal crown traffic light is a useless political marketing tool,” Luger said. As reported, the mayor of Linz had already requested that the traffic lights be turned off in early September.
