The governor of Salzburg, Wilfred Haslauer (ÖVP), has defended the quarantine in the Kuchl community in Tennengau. This “developed very quickly,” Haslauer said in Ö1 “Morgenjournal” about criticism from the Chamber of Commerce. Haslauer also addressed the complexity of such ordinances. In any case, a “coherent position” must now be taken. “I definitely want to prevent the quarantine from having to be extended.”
Chamber of Commerce president Harald Mahrer had previously criticized the APA’s crown policy and called for the Chamber of Commerce to get involved earlier. In relation to the measures taken in Kuchl, Mahrer spoke of chaotic conditions and complained of a lack of coordination.
The governor of Salzburg does not expect stricter rules across the country than those already in place in his state of Salzburg, Haslauer said in the run-up to a video conference Monday morning between the federal and state governments Monday morning. . Haslauer welcomes uniform regulations across federal states, as a common curfew in the restaurant industry. But Haslauer ruled out that Salzburg could leave after 10 p.m. and postpone the curfew for an hour.
Meanwhile, the virus is still spreading in Kuchl. As of Monday, at 11:30 am, the health authorities reported 131 active cases, ten more than yesterday. According to AGES, the incidence of seven days per 100,000 inhabitants in the district increased to 513.5, which is still the highest value in Austria. The situation is also getting worse throughout the country: mainly in Pongau and Flachgau.
The number of plays in the state has risen to 1.42, the doubling time is 15 days, the state announced Monday. Of the six districts of Salzburg, only the state capital has an incidence of less than 100. According to EMS, the number of actively infected people in the state of Salzburg was 1,120 cases in the late morning. There were also 158 people with positive test results who had not yet registered with EMS.
The first stricter measures in Kuchl have been in effect since October 13, the quarantine took place on October 17. For experts, the period since then has been too short for the measures taken by the state to have a measurable effect. In addition to the community of 7,450 people, Grossarl, St. Martin am Tennengebirge, Unken and Koppl were recently among the communities in the state with the strongest new growth in absolute numbers over the past week.
