Stelzer, therefore, announced legal action against such events. “Now is not the time for barn festivals or garage parties,” he said in the lead up to Halloween weekend. How they look in detail and on what legal basis they are based, was not known at the moment. The restrictions for events established in the Covid Ordinance of the Ministry of Health do not explicitly apply to private living areas. And gardens, garages and outbuildings also count as “private living areas” (as explained by the Covid Measures Law).
Controlling Corona
“I’m not happy with anything, but it has to be done,” said the governor. Now everything must be done to get the growing number of infections back under control, because everything else carries the risk of a new lockdown, even more unemployment, and not everyone who needs medical help will get it.
“We still have the opportunity to intervene, but the situation is serious,” he appealed to all, “who believe that they can take the virus lightly.”
Garage parties are now banned in Tyrol
After the announcement of Upper Austria, the state of Tyrol made it clear that such parties with more than six people in basements, garages, barns, workshops, barns and the like are already prohibited in Tyrol. Under the Tyrolean ordinance, which was announced in mid-October, these rooms do not count as private living rooms, according to the state.
Dispute over controls in private
Earlier, the Governor of Styria, Hermann Schützenhöfer (ÖVP), had already thought out loud about controls in the private sector and called for a “constitutionally viable way” to be able to intervene in the private sector in case of violations of the rules of the crown. It also specifically targeted private parties in basements or garden sheds. Schützenhöfer’s proposal not only rejected Health Minister Rudolf Anschober (Greens), but the opposition also rejected those plans as a whole. Schützenhöfer was supported solely by the Styrian economy.
Criticisms of Stelzer’s proposal
Stelzer’s government partner, LHStv. Manfred Haimbuchner (FPÖ) also rejects controls in the private sector. The liberal-democratic basic order is not an experimental laboratory and the FPÖ “therefore will not don the dressing gown when experimenting with fundamental rights and freedoms,” Haimbuchner said, the end does not justify all means. However, he criticized the federal government more than his government partner: “It has already sold us numerous measures, from the curfew to the mandatory mask and the Corona application, as without alternative, and each of these measures has shown be ineffective. ” Haimbuchner called for action “with common sense and a sense of proportion” and “to avoid a blockade or equally drastic measures as much as possible.
The oö. SPÖ club boss Christian Makor fears losing confidence in politics if there is too much involvement in the private sphere. “An even stricter ban in the private sphere is probably perceived by many as disproportionate. So I think it makes more sense for people to gather at the inn in the safest possible conditions,” he again promoted the idea of a gastronomic voucher .
Crown numbers continue to rise sharply
The background to the tightening is the recent sharp rise in crown numbers in Upper Austria: at 8:00 a.m., the number of people currently ill stood at 4,773. The situation in hospitals, where currently 328 Covid patients are being treated under normal conditions and 33 in intensive care units, is also reaching a critical point. Interventions that are not immediately necessary are being postponed.
