Due to the spread of the South African mutant, the Tyrolean community of Mayrhofen at the rear of the Zillertal can only be left with a negative corona test that is no more than 72 hours old from Saturday to Wednesday.
The trade, with the exception of the basic supplier, is closed from Saturday to Wednesday. Kindergartens and schools remain closed or in distance learning. The Mayrhofen mountain railways will also stop skiing until March 3. Travelers, on the other hand, can still enter and leave the country without restrictions.
On Wednesday there was a positive test result for 42 people in the community of 4,000 people. The South African virus variant was found in 29 cases by PCR analysis. Two instances of this occurred in clusters in kindergarten and the new middle school. The PCR test will also be mandatory for the Mayrhofen population. These tests must be done on Friday and Saturday and a second time on Monday and Tuesday.
The accumulation of the South African mutant in Tyrol, especially in the Schwaz district, has meant that the entire state, except for East Tyrol, was quarantined almost two weeks ago. If you want to leave Tyrol, you must submit a negative corona test.
Cases in Lower Austria
The South African mutation of the virus was detected yesterday in Lower Austria for the first time. The seven affected come from the Wiener Neudorf and have already recovered. A daycare where the mutation occurred will be temporarily closed. Three classes of affected NMS schools are separated and students are tested. A returnee is considered to be the source of the infections.
