After a corona disease at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, all members of the cabinet and all contact persons of the employee in question were examined.

All test results were negative, the ministry said on Thursday. Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg (ÖVP), who had already tested negative for Covid-19 on Wednesday, should be tested again later in the week.

The entire cabinet in the State Department tested negative

The employee in question, who has been in home quarantine since Wednesday, is fine, a spokeswoman said. The case of the crown was discovered this Wednesday during a routine test of the entire delegation of a trip of the chancellor. Therefore, the trip to Greece and Cyprus scheduled for Thursday was canceled.

After the travel advisory from Germany to Vienna was imposed, travel advisories from other countries cannot be foreseen from the perspective of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, such a decision would “be made very, very quickly,” he said. In addition to Germany, Switzerland and Belgium have issued travel advisories for the state of Vienna.
