“Infections are increasing rapidly throughout Austria. Therefore, an Austrian-wide approach is the right way, “says Upper Austrian Governor Thomas Stelzer of the federal government’s new Corona package of measures. The governors coordinated with the Federal Chancellor and the Minister of Health in a videoconference The governor believes that the measures presented by the federal government are necessary to maintain control of the virus.
The government tightened the crown measures
The new regulations already apply on Friday and restrict all meetings, celebrations and events where multiple people gather. The only exception is the workplace. Specifically: In the private area, a maximum of six adults can only meet inside, outside there can be up to 12 people.
No more adjustments in Upper Austria
Currently, no further local adjustments are planned in Upper Austria, says the governor: “We always try to take measures in the fight against the corona virus very precisely. Tomorrow, Tuesday, two measures will come into force in Upper Austria. With the mandatory registration of guests in the catering sector, the management of the contact person of the health authorities should receive significant support. And in nursing homes and nursing homes, the level of protection is significantly increased to protect our seniors. “
The curfew in the restaurant sector will not be advanced for the moment. “Experts fear that even more will move uncontrollably into the private sphere. In addition, there have been constant controls by the executive for weeks to ensure that the curfew is respected in the restaurant sector, ”said the governor. So far, there have been more than 16,000 checks in Upper Austria, of which only about 170 reports (one percent) resulted.
Shortening the quarantine?
At the conference between the governors and the federal government, Stelzer also urged that the currently applicable quarantine regulations be reconsidered. A shortening of ten to five days would make sense from Upper Austria. There are currently around 8,000 people in quarantine in Upper Austria. The trend is increasing.
