In view of the growing number of cases, experts have called for restrictions and not relaxation. They reportedly advocated for a fundamental obligation for FFP2 masks indoors, an additional test offensive, and a central office obligation for the eastern region, where this can be implemented. These suggestions were evidently supported by all experts, others only by individual experts. This includes distance learning after the Easter break. No consistent line was found, especially regarding a possible trade close. Relaxation could only be considered if the incidence is less than 200 / 100,000 people. Except in Vorarlberg, this value is only reached in the south, that is, in Carinthia and Styria, and hardly that.
However, according to information from the negotiation, the governors of Lower Austria, Burgenland and Vienna considered it more sensible to open at least the guest gardens. Argument: in this way, private meetings that take place anyway would move in a regulated manner. Vorarlberg Governor Markus Wallner (ÖVP) also stressed that one should not believe that people will not meet just because politics forbids it. In either case, you want to keep the initial steps established in your state.
At the meetings in Tyrol and Upper Austria, tones were heard quite skeptical about opening restaurants because they could be a wrong signal for the population. Carinthia Governor Peter Kaiser (SPÖ) urged in advance that concrete values be set as to when easing or stricter measures will be implemented.
