The government met today for its first regular Council of Ministers after the summer recess. The main theme was the corona pandemic with new infections that had increased during the summer.. Other measures were discussed, as well as the traffic light system, which will begin on Friday. Overdue drafts to reform official secrecy and against “online hate” are reportedly not completed.
Christmas parties only limited
According to Kurz, “the summer went relatively well,” but there has been an increase in the number of infections in recent weeks. Probably worse in the fall. “That is why it is important that we all work together to have the best possible fall this fall.” The Corona traffic light will begin on Friday to provide an overview of the regional situation.
Three points are now important to get through the fall:
- Keep your distance and adhere to hygiene measures and avoid welcoming rituals.
- Wear a mask, especially where distance cannot be kept
- We know that many infections arise privately, that is, reduction of social contacts, private celebrations with a maximum of 25 people, also with regard to Christmas, the celebrations are only carried out to a limited extent.
He reiterated the importance of stimulating the economy. “Buy regionally” was the Chancellor’s call.
Vice Chancellor Kogler shared the chancellor’s confidence that things will improve next summer. But now you have to see how you can overcome the “cold seasons”. The traffic light system “will help us avoid a second lockdown.”
There were 327 new infections in the last 24 hours.said Health Minister Anschober. “A significant increase, but still far from the situation in spring.” It is positive that the number of occupied intensive care beds remains stable. If you have symptoms, you should stay home, this also applies to children. The minister also recommends getting the Corona app. Anschober also warned about overheating rooms: “” 23, 24, 25 degrees is too much.
Interior Minister Nehammer stressed that “we have to become more alert again.” Now it needs “strong and intensive control” in compliance with the quarantine. Quick test results are essential here.
But loosely
Kurz had announced a further tightening of action against the corona pandemic. Despite the growing number of infections, now there are no details about new measures, now it is about recommendations.
According to Kurz, on the one hand people’s common sense is trusted, on the other hand, the crown traffic light offers the opportunity to adopt stricter measures. “Today we know a hundred times better where it is infected and where the risk is greatest,” Kurz said. The population has learned a lot here.
The turquoise green government cooperation is going well. The fact that it is now a combination of rules and recommendations is a good solution.
