The Health Minister was optimistic about the coming winter: “I am completely sure that we can have a merry Christmas.”

This was prompted by the ORF’s “Zeit im Bild” on Saturday evening, in which national policy chief Hans Bürger spoke of the government’s concepts for a “soft” lockdown of two to three weeks from 2 or November 16, with early departure or curfew restrictions.

This was briefly commented on in ORF: “Hans Bürger outlined possible scenarios in his analysis,” he said in a statement about APA’s request.
