“We only have about 100 new infections a day and we are very happy to have reacted so quickly and decisively,” said the chancellor. The number of infected people in Austria is decreasing and “we believe that the numbers will continue to decrease,” Kurz said. Now try to open the country “very slowly and step by step”. “We always proceed in two-week steps so we can see how the situation is developing and if there is an increase in infections again. All stores should open in early May and restaurants in mid-May.”

A test of all employees in the catering industry “will unfortunately not be possible,” Kurz said to a corresponding question. Instead, there should be a maximum number of people you can spend the night with. In addition, other measures of social distancing should also be continued in bars.
In either case, the testing capabilities should now be increased. “Right now we have around 10,000 tests a day, we are working to expand it,” said the chancellor. A good containment strategy is important to prevent infected people from coming into contact with others. “Asian countries were very successful.” “It will take months and the situation will continue to be difficult,” Kurz concluded. However, one would experience a new normal, with “as much freedom as possible and as many restrictions as necessary.”
