“There is no need for excitement,” he told the APA in writing on Friday afternoon. It was “all quite clear and easy to understand”. With the easing regulation “now traffic restrictions are lifted”, and “the opening of the catering industry will take place on May 15, on May 29, the accommodation facilities will reopen for tourism purposes. The regulations will follow that regulate these additional steps. “
The Ministry of Health had already explained that the government’s roadmap for new openings in May is still correct, even if, according to the relaxation regulation announced Thursday night, the entrances prohibit accommodation establishments, restaurants or institutions Cultural and leisure activities (such as swimming pools, museums, zoos, etc.) apply for another eight weeks. But: Last week we are working on an amendment to this regulation. Additional openings depend, of course, on epidemiological development, he said.
Restaurants and company open in mid-May
However, according to ÖVP Tourism Minister Elisabeth Köstinger, one thing is for sure: “The restaurants will open as scheduled on May 15. The opening of the accommodation and leisure facilities, as well as the cable cars, will continue on 29 May, “he said Friday morning. In the case of hoteliers and restaurateurs, the Schobler regulation has fueled fears that the opening will be postponed to the end of June, his ministry explained.
ÖVP’s Tyrolean business wing found stronger words: “What now applies to Mr Anschober? His regulation applied at the last second, shortly before midnight, in which he locks Austria until June 30 or announcements from Federal Ministers, Austria, gradually over the next few weeks open? – The head of the Tyrol Economic Federation (and president of the Chamber of Commerce cable car association) Franz Hörl told the Minister of Health that “the needs of the entrepreneurs were alien to him”.
The opposition immediately took up the matter: “Once again, the ÖVP and the Greens deliberately misled the businessmen,” said FPÖ club president Herbert Kickl and demanded “clarity, legal certainty and predictability” for the innkeepers. Legal certainty warned NEOS business spokesman Sepp Schellhorn. As it stands now, “Köstinger and Co. restaurateurs and hoteliers would simply have to believe that bars can reopen from May 15 and hotels from May 29 cannot legally trust them.”
