AUSTRIA. The truth is that on Friday afternoon there will be a debate on how to proceed and the corresponding measures in the crisis of the Crown. The evidence is now mounting on whether a new strict lockdown will be decided. As the “Kronen Zeitung” reports, one must plan from St. Stephen’s Day, that is, December 26. According to Standard, a conference on the status of the crown with governors and experts is scheduled for Friday starting at 3 pm, followed by a press release.
Number of new infections too high
Many virologists are concerned that the number of new infections has not continued to decline in recent days. Because the numbers have dropped significantly from the harsh three weeks of lockdown, the expected goal of fewer than 1,000 new infections per day is not yet in sight. There were currently 2,485 people recently infected.
Closing as of December 26?
Also due to the deadlines, a new ordinance of measures must be adopted as of December 26. Because it must be approved every ten days by the main commission of the National Council, provided that, as at present, it contains exceptional restrictions. But what would a new hard block from Stefanitag mean? Ski areas would have to close again and commerce and sport could also be affected.
Angry cable keeper – unlock for just two days?
The elevators are due to open on December 24, but the ordinance contains requirements that can hardly be implemented. And it expires on the 26th. “If we finally have no certainty for the beginning of next week, my advice to the cable car operators is clear: do not open the door!”, Says the head of the cable car and member of the ÖVP of the National Council Franz Hörl in Salzburger Nachrichten.
