“Amazed”: Gastronomy and retail want …

Corona tests must be verified in the restaurant industry. The innkeepers could not take control under any circumstances, criticized Representative Mario Pulker. Sales representative Rainer Will is also in awe.

The news that Interior Minister Karl Nehammer, contrary to the announcement by Tourism Minister Elisabeth Köstinger (ÖVP), wants catering establishments to inspect so-called free trials for a visit, has “hit the industry as a bomb”. That’s what the president of the gastronomic division of the Chamber of Commerce, Mario Pulker, told the APA. The hosts were in no way able to take control. Retailers don’t want to control corona tests either.

With his information, Nehammer is creating additional uncertainty among restaurateurs at an uncertain time, Pulker said Monday. As he emphasized, he relies on the position of the Minister of Tourism Köstinger, which was confirmed today, that the authorities should be responsible for the inspections. “We will not control. That is not possible for us,” Pulker said.

What exactly will continue to contact tracing at the inns when they reopen is still open. “We are waiting for the new regulation. Then we will also know more about this,” said the president of the gastro division, who does not approve the “paperwork.” This comes from the Rudolf Anschober (Greens) Ministry of Health.

Pulker appealed to the population to get vaccinated and go to corona tests to return to normal as soon as possible. “Because we won’t survive this intermittent condition much longer,” Pulker said of the restaurant industry.

Sales representative “shocked and amazed”

Also in retail, people are “shocked and amazed” by the latest statements from the Interior Ministry, according to which retailers should also check their own tests from January 18.

“The health authority must remain responsible for health inspections,” the trade association’s managing director, Rainer Will, said Monday, according to the announcement. “Neither for the business nor for the employees an additional additional burden is reasonable. Therefore, we call on the federal government to adhere to the process already promised.” Additionally, a free trial strategy is now required for the 490,000 employees in the non-food industry so that they can even open successfully.

The third lockdown only ends on January 17 for those who are properly “released.” However, for those who do not want to take a voluntary crown test, the lockdown applies until January 24. In the week of January 18-24, shopping at stationery stores or visiting restaurants is only possible if customers can show a negative Covid test.

(WHAT)
