Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz stands firm: normalcy should return in the summer. However, the crisis is not over yet.
Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has already stressed several times that Austria could return to normal life in the summer of 2021. Kurz maintained this assessment on Saturday night: “With the vaccination we will return to normality in the summer,” Kurz wrote to the 6 am on the short message service Twitter. However: the pandemic “will continue to worry us about mutations,” said the chancellor.
And for these mutations, more vaccines and treatments may be needed. “We have to prepare for this and for the post-summer phase,” Kurz continued: “The goal should be to adapt existing vaccines and therapies as quickly as possible or to produce new ones as quickly as possible, and this as independently as possible. This has been done in Austria for months working on capabilities in research, development and production. “
Announced trip to Israel
According to the Chancellor, Austrian partners Denmark and Israel have been in close contact since spring. “Now we want to expand our cooperation. Therefore, I will travel to Israel on March 4 with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen,” Kurz said.
There, Frederiksen and Kurz would agree with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “the closest possible cooperation in research and production of vaccines and drugs.” According to the chancellor, the first priority is “to accelerate the production and acquisition of vaccines for the future.”
