At the moment, “the absolute focus is on regional measures,” Anschober said in view of the tightening in Tyrol and Salzburg established on Thursday. These new regional measures are “on point”. Also in other federal states a tightening is expected, for example Upper Austria “will again tighten regionally tomorrow”, said the minister. It was already known in advance that Upper Austria could cope with the introduction of compulsory guest registration in the catering sector and an extension of protection measures in homes for the elderly and the elderly.
It is essential “that the population participate”
“But yes, we will also need additional federal measures to protect ourselves against the pandemic – we are working on that right now,” Anschober said. It depends on “the right time”. “Now we are working out the measures, looking at the figures. Now it is the turn of the regional measures, then we will take more measures.” The deciding factor is “that the population participates,” Anschober said, also in the face of the Hallein reports, where individuals did not meet the guidelines.
The second block should be avoided
A “blockade” must be avoided, the minister once again emphasized: “I can assure you, we have enshrined in the law that there could only be a blockade if the main committee (of the National Council, note) agrees and the Austrian collapses We are taking all the measures to avoid a closure “.
When asked if a night curfew was conceivable, as in Paris, for example, Anschober said: “We want to avoid that too. I want to do everything possible to avoid something similar to what we had in spring.”
The curfew can be advanced throughout the country
On specific measures such as bringing a national curfew, Anschober said: “This is also the subject of our audits. The curfew can be a legitimate method when it comes to reducing a certain polluting area. If there is an increase in the alcoholism, there is an increased risk. It made sense to me that individual federal states introduced curfew earlier.
Off for face visors
He also indicated the end of the visors that are used, especially in gastronomy, instead of mouth and nasal protection: it is known from studies that protection is “drastically reduced” compared to oral and nasal protection. For this reason measures are already being prepared so that the mask “that is on the side, that this is the means of our actions in Austria in the future”.
