According to the Chancellor, the FFP2 masks will cost “on the order of 1 euro” +++ “Very skeptical” shortly when the ski lifts open
Vienna (OTS) – In an interview with oe24.TV (broadcast today at 21
Look at FELLNER! LIVE) Chancellor Sebastian Kurz speaks in detail about the extent of the blockade. The chancellor offers the prospect of an even longer lockdown for the catering and hotel industry: “What I have to say with a heavy heart to all innkeepers and tourists is that there will certainly be no possibility of opening in February. I hope that there is a possibility in March it will open, but that cannot be guaranteed. The optimists speak of March, the pessimists of Easter. “
Nor can he guarantee that schools will be open continuously from February 8 until the summer: “I can guarantee that there will be lessons in distance education schools. I can guarantee that it is our goal that schools are always present in the first steps of What no one can predict is exactly what the next few months will be like. What is clear: that everything will change with vaccination. And for the better. “
When asked about criticism about the opening of the ski lifts, Kurz replied: “You know I was always very skeptical about it. But in politics you can’t choose everything on your own. For some federal states it was very important that ice skating and skiing. With the argument, which is quite understandable, that this is just an outdoor sport. That this is an individual sport. And that the risk of infection is much lower outdoors than indoors. “
For the first time, the Chancellor mentions the possible costs of FFP2 masks. When asked if they would cost around 1 euro in stores, Kurz replied: “Supermarkets in Austria have promised to sell the FFP2 masks at cost price. That is a very low price that will be on the same scale as them. We also just mentioned that. Furthermore, we have agreed with the social partners that employers will also provide their employees with FFP2 masks. Furthermore, the Ministry of Social Affairs will also provide FFP2 masks for the socially disadvantaged. “
