Segregated and proven employees

Employees and contact persons who, according to the assessment of the health authorities, are qualified as contact person 1, were immediately separated after the test result was known and would be evaluated. Schallenberg attended the Council of Ministers and the plenary session of the National Council on Wednesday. After both Schallenberg and other members of the federal government had worn masks, those in direct contact with him would also be classified as contact person 2 (low-risk exposure) according to health authorities. This also applies to MPs and employees with whom you were in direct contact in Parliament. As a precaution, all members of the government would be examined on Saturday.

The chancellor should have traveled to London on Monday, where, among other things, a meeting with his British counterpart Dominic Raab was scheduled. On Tuesday he would have traveled to Copenhagen, where a working meeting with Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod and a meeting with the regional director of the World Health Organization (WHO), Hans Kluge, were scheduled. On Thursday and Friday, Schallenberg wanted to visit Greece and Cyprus and also have talks with his two counterparts Nikos Denidas and Nikos Christodoulidis.
