Health Minister Rudolf Anschober (Greens) also looks to Germany when it comes to football. “Of course, we are also seeing the international experience these days, in Switzerland, for example, but the decision that is imminent in Germany and that is announced for tomorrow is also of great interest to us,” Anschober emphasized when asked about football on Tuesday.
With the Sports Ministry, which is run by his party colleague, Vice Chancellor Werner Kogler, one is “in an orderly discussion process.” In the coming days, the Austrian Bundesliga should now clarify “the most delicate of all questions,” “namely, what happens if the test is positive, what are the concrete consequences,” Anschober said. In this sense, one has to “try to reach a consensus there. It is still open, I cannot anticipate whether it works,” said the Minister of Health at the press conference in Vienna.

The German Soccer League (DFL) estimated that soccer employed some 56,000 people. “We do not want additional sausages, which is not appropriate in these times. But we are a commercial company like many others,” emphasized Christian Seifert, head of DFL.
