“We have many great people in Lower Austria who stick together and work together.”
St. Pölten (OTS / NLK) – 2020 is history and many are looking forward to the new year. In any case, the truth is that last year it will make its way into the history books. It is characterized by words like corona pandemic, confinement, masks, hygiene rules, elephant calves, PCR tests, and many more. Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner on this Sunday on the radio show “Talking about Lower Austria”:
“Corona is an issue that has completely changed our entire lives, just as we were used to before. And Corona is not only a health problem for everyone, but above all an economic and social challenge.”
As a politician, but also as a mother, wife and daughter, she “comes up close and personal with what that means for all of us,” continues Mikl-Leitner: “In all facets: in daily challenges, in sacrifice, in loss, and also in fear. And I also wish we were done. ” But it’s not that far yet. “But there is a ray of hope! There is a vaccine against the coronavirus and the first people in Lower Austria have even been vaccinated “, appealed the governor:” For now, however, we all need to be careful in dealing with the virus and look forward with confidence. “
She was “incredibly proud that a Lower Austrian family business like Polymun in Klosterneuburg is involved in the production of a coronavirus vaccine,” Mikl-Leitner emphasized, that this simply shows that Lower Austria is good ground for research and innovation. And he is also confident because vaccination is “an important component in the fight against the virus.” In any case, he will set a good example and get vaccinated, the governor said.
“We in Lower Austria will not be discouraged. We have proven it many times in our history. And in the end we have always managed to turn disadvantages into opportunities and develop prospects, “said Mikl-Leitner, saying that even the current Corona crisis has one positive side effect or another:” Each and every one of us has new ones. He learned about forms of communication and strengthened his digital competence. And cohesion and togetherness in the country were further strengthened during this difficult time. And we have many great people in Lower Austria who stick together and work together, who above all start the new year with confidence and full of energy. “
He hopes that 2021 “will be a better year for everyone,” concluded the governor, “a good and above all healthy 2021, and that we can really start over as quickly as possible.”
