The Health Minister announced the second blockade that afternoon. Late at night, comment on this for the first time on a “ZiB2 Spezial”.

Health Minister Rudolf Anschober declared at the fateful press conference that followed the chancellor that “there is currently no end in sight” to the growing number of new infections. At the same time, it had warned that the closure could not have been delayed for a single week due to the full planned capacity utilization of intensive care units.

Contrary to all guarantees that there will be no second lockdown for Austria, the federal government announced it today. The dramatic situation in Europe and also in the country itself made this step necessary, Anschober argues in an interview with ORF. Tuesday’s forecast showed a “dramatic increase.” Since Wednesday morning they have been working on the new regulations.
Is the virus mutating in Europe?
The collapse of the health system is already looming in mid-November. “It is a race against time. We have to change course in mid-November.”
The Minister of Health warns that nothing has happened yet. It is a “ghostly situation”. At the same time, it reveals bleak prospects: “Some scientists believe that mutations will occur; that the virus will become more infectious.”
“Forced” to ban
For the first time, the new ordinance also affects the private sector. Due to the unbridled celebrations, the government was “forced” to ban parties in private rooms such as garages, barns and barns. The experts consulted are convinced that the ban will last before the Constitutional Court.
“Believe we can do it in time”
The horrible idea that the so-called triage (doctors would have to decide who will be treated and who will not) could come to the Austrian intensive care unit, is of course in the room, but he is optimistic: “I think we will make it through We have to do it now. Do the same as in spring, that is, be together, be there for others. “
Exit restrictions will be extended
From a purely legal point of view, exit restrictions must end on November 12, the main committee of the National Council can approve them for a maximum of ten days in a row. But: Anschober wants to extend the exit restrictions twice until at least the end of November. “I will do it tomorrow [dem Hauptausschuss] present the relevant arguments and await broad approval, ”Anschober concluded.
