The state of Salzburg announced stricter measures for Tennengau on Thursday night, although the Corona traffic light in the district remains orange. Due to the recent increase in Covid-19 infections in the district, sporting events will only run without spectators starting Friday. The corresponding ordinance issued by the Hallein District Commission applies until October 18.
Governor Wilfried Haslauer (ÖVP) emphasizes the need for this measure in transmission: “The current development makes a temporary tightening necessary. Especially in Tennengau we face the great challenge that no definable clusters are recognized, but infections almost everywhere and all age groups are registered in all areas “. Later that night it became known that the stoplight commission had not changed any district to red (we reported).
No spectators at sporting events
Therefore, after consulting the health authorities, it was decided to hold sporting events without spectators. According to the Salzburg Football Association, this does not influence the game.
Voluntary guest registration
At the end of September, the state had rejected a registration obligation for the restaurant sector as in Vienna for data protection reasons, now the innkeepers and hoteliers of the district must register their guests on a voluntary basis. In addition, Haslauer appealed in a letter to all mayors to work for the clubs to stop socializing in their bars, which generally do not have commercial permits.
Haslauer appeal: reducing celebrations and gatherings
Studies would show that celebrations and meetings in the private sector pose a significant risk of infection. Hence the urgent call to the population to severely restrict celebrations and meetings and reduce them to a minimum. Haslauer: “Of course, I am aware that these are all severe restrictions on our lives and that partying and being together in good company are an important part of our quality of life. However, in our own interest, we have to stop by a limited time for more, significantly more unpleasant consequences can be avoided. “
Avoid the German travel warning
Last but not least, it’s about avoiding a Germany travel warning. This would have “dramatic economic” effects for Salzburg, but also “considerable personal” effects for many Salzburg residents, according to Haslauer.
