Tyrolean Governor Günther Platter (ÖVP) announced tougher crown measures at a press conference scheduled on short notice Thursday night. Among other things, a registration requirement for restaurants will be introduced and a curfew will be maintained at 10 pm In the orange and “red” traffic light districts, the school traffic light is set to orange and therefore , they switch to distance learning beginning in the ninth grade.
Distance learning is also expanding in technical colleges and universities. Public events can only be held with assigned seating with a maximum of 250 people; drinks are prohibited. Also, only 100 people can attend funerals, Platter said. The activities of the club will also not be affected by the new measures: the activities will be limited to the “real purpose of the club”, so the dining room will have to be closed after a football game.
Two visitors a day
In especially sensitive areas such as residences for the elderly and the elderly, hospitals, facilities for the disabled and child and youth welfare, only two visitors are allowed per day. In addition, hygiene standards are increased. The measures apply from Friday night, the obligation of gastronomic registration and the new school regulations apply from Monday.
Registration requirement
Most of the measures will apply from Friday night, the obligation of gastronomic registration and the new school regulations from next Monday. They are initially valid for three weeks.
“We are in a worrying situation,” Platter said, referring to 295 new infections in the past 24 hours. Furthermore, it is becoming increasingly difficult to track cases and break the chains. Older people or those with previous illnesses are also increasingly affected by Covid. The governor also referred to the increase in hospitalizations. At the moment, 52 corona patients have been treated in Tyrol hospitals, seven of them in intensive care units. At the same time, Platter was reassured about the situation in hospitals: “We are miles from overload.” Nor did the governor see an impending blockade on the rise: “We are not facing a blockade.” It is important to avoid this at all costs.
At the same time, Platter appealed to be more careful in the private sphere. I appeal: let’s reduce our social contacts again and keep more distance again ”. And the country manager added: “Containing the virus without restrictions is not possible.”
The head of state defended the extension of the gastronomic curfew at 10 p.m., as in the state parliament the day before. It brought something that night dining clusters could have been avoided. The governor also spoke in favor of new measures at the national level. The exact plans in this regard “are not in prospect” at the moment.
