A second blockade is already being discussed. Head of SPÖ Pamela Rendi-Wagner he urged the government to prepare accordingly. You should meet with the social partners, businesses and local authorities in due time and develop a plan on how to minimize the economic and social consequences.

For Rendi-Wagner one seems second lock inevitable given current development. But there should be no blind flights, no social and economic catastrophes. In the first two weeks of March alone, 200,000 jobs lost their jobs due to panic layoffs. “That can’t happen a second time.” Businesses must have security and support.

But also when it comes to a second block, it is crucial for Rendi-Wagner: “Schools have to stay open.”

“Doubling in ten days”

The following aspects are relevant to Rendi-Wagner, which Speed ​​of disease spread concerns:

  • The occupancy rate for intensive care beds is currently doubling in ten days. We are currently at 25 percent.
  • If development continues like this, then let it be A 50 percent utilization achieved in ten days.
  • With a 50 percent load, a lockout is inevitable, because in ten more days 100 percent utilization could be achieved.

Everything must be done to help Slow down development. According to Rendi-Wagner, this includes:

  • the Contact tracing protection in the federal states, with the support of the Ministry of Health. “No epidemic can be effectively combated without proper monitoring of contact persons.”
  • the Ensuring intensive medical care through a uniform concept across Austria that specifies the framework for changes. Personnel is the key factor in intensive care medicine. A deployment site across Austria is necessary to compensate for regional differences in hospital care, including military hospitals.
  • the Protection of risk groupswho are at higher risk and therefore more likely to end up in intensive care medicine Social contacts would have to be greatly reduced, nursing homes should be well protected, and antigen testing should be used across the board.

Also the governor of Carinthia Peter kaiser (SPÖ) had demanded “a worst-case plan B” from the federal government, involving the states and the population.

Rendi-Wagner: I call on the federal government to act now, now, now. Together with social partners, countries, experts. “At today’s press conference of government leaders after the meeting with experts in intensive care medicine, he said:” If after eight months there is still no vision overall of intensive care capabilities, that’s not ideal. ”But now it is crucial that all plans would finally be on the table.
