Exit restrictions apply to the approximately 7,400 residents of Kuchl. Only sports, hiking, neighborhood help, and shopping are allowed. Hotels and bars in the community must close.

Salzburg is introducing compulsory registration in the restaurant sector. Premises that do not collect data must close.
The measures apply from October 17 at midnight to November 1 at midnight.
“Many have symptoms, but they cannot be assessed”

Many have symptoms but cannot be evaluated so they do not have to be quarantined.” Even social networks are asked not to cooperate and not adhere to the measures.
