“I am of the opinion that Tyrol should be isolated for a month, from the rest of Austria and from abroad.” Virologist Dorothee Von Laer formulated this drastic step in a messenger interview. The government is now examining all options with experts, as the APA Circles reported Thursday.

The spread of the South African corona virus mutation could lead to the isolation of individual areas. However, it cannot be ruled out that the entire country is in quarantine.

Before that, Health Minister Rudolf Anschober described the situation in Tyrol as “serious”. As the minister said at a press conference in Vienna on Thursday, the state of Tyrol established a “very strict five-point program with which the situation will be examined in detail.”

The results will be analyzed again on Sunday.

According to the APA, not all other government expert advisors agree with the virologist. There would be different numbers that now need to be verified. Contrary to Von Laer’s statements, there should be no Tyrolean mutation of the South African virus. The government is aware of the problem.
