People with Covid apparently received sanctions in Carinthia because they continued to live with their partner. Governor Kaiser sees the blame on the federal government, which cannot understand the criticism.
In Carinthia, there is outrage over the crown sanctions on coexistence. According to an ORF report, there were fines of around 300 euros. This is because people, after contracting Covid-19, continued to live with their partner in the shared apartment.
Lawyer Ulrich Salberg, who opposes three administrative fines, told ORF: “The prerequisite for any criminal liability is legal alternative behavior. I have to be able to behave in such a way that it is not punishable. This is possible here but not , because where should the couple go? You can’t leave her out, you can’t go to any hotels, they’re closed. The lawyer goes on to say that, in his opinion, it is “clearly unconstitutional” to use contact tracing data for a court order .
There was also reportedly criticism from opposition parties. Governor Peter Kaiser (SPÖ) passed the ball to the federal government: “I hope that the federal government will quickly remove the unrealistic regulation that has now been made public.” Such sanction notices, which are issued by district authorities in the course of indirect federal administration as an authority directly subordinate to the federal government, should be suspended. It will also urge the federal government to make the necessary changes in writing and over the course of the next video conference on January 4.
Kaiser had said that the state of Carinthia had no control whatsoever. “The responsibility for this rests solely with the federal government, which is now required,” the governor said, according to a transmission from the regional press service on Saturday.
Ministry of Health: Incomprehensible criticism
The Health Ministry described Kaiser’s criticism Saturday night as “incomprehensible.” A spokesman for the department announced that the federal government’s requirements for tracking contact persons were “clear.” “However, these are only recommendations. The competence here clearly rests with the federal states and district administrative authorities.
