The amendment to the Law of Epidemic Measures and Covid, which was subjected to evaluation today, constitutes the legal basis for “freedom” to be able to enjoy advantages in everyday life, which is characterized by the crown. The amendment to the law can also grant privileges to people who have survived an infection in the past three months. However, many details remain unclear, as the exact regulation must be determined by the Ministry of Health by ordinance.
Lock exceptions for tested
The amendment allows people with a negative test and all those who have suffered from crown disease in the last three months to be exempt from the exit restrictions. A negative test result can also be determined as a condition for entering (and driving in) operating facilities and for entering (and driving in) certain public places and places in their entirety. Likewise, the same provisions are introduced for events.
In addition, in the future, mass tests will also be possible “so that people can enter the production facilities and attend events.” The federal government bears the costs of this. Confirmations of the test result will be issued, which will serve as proof of the test performed. Participation in testing as part of screening programs remains voluntary. Personal health data can be processed from those who participate.
Modification effective from January 18
The law will be evaluated on January 3 and should take effect on January 18 before the planned opening. The exact parliamentary timetable has not yet been determined. In any case, the corresponding ordinances will continue to be drafted in which details such as controls will be regulated.
Call to participate in voluntary corona tests
Interior Minister Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) appealed to the population to participate in tests and vaccinations: “With regular tests or vaccinations, we will regain social life after the hard blockade. Everyone should be clear that without periodic tests or a Vaccination a normal life is not possible “.
“With this amendment to the 1950 Epidemic Act and the COVID-19 Measures Act, we are creating a legal foundation that allows us to gradually open and loosen in an epidemiologically better controllable manner. Our goal is to prevent a rapid increase in the number of infections after a confinement. It is important for me to emphasize that participation in the tests remains voluntary in any case, “said Health Minister Rudi Anschober (Greens).
