“We have to close everything now: shops, schools, restaurants, ski lifts,” says Burgenland’s head of state. For 2021 he envisions a “free trial” for visits to taverns, weddings or thermal baths.
The turquoise-green federal government simply cannot “show the population a way out of the crisis,” Burgenland Governor Hans Peter Doskozil (SPÖ) said on Tuesday, and it meant the extension of the Christmas holidays. On Wednesday he was even clearer in his criticism of the ÖVP and the Greens: “No more salami tactics. We have to close everything now: shops, schools, restaurants, ski lifts. “
With an extension of the Christmas holidays (on January 7 and 8, schoolchildren, parents and teachers will be offered to be tested for a coronavirus infection, regular school operations will not begin until January 11 ), “A really safe base must also be created,” so Doskozil in the newspaper “Heute.” In the recent easing of business openings, however, he locates a “kneeling before the economy” for the Christmas business. With this “zigzag course” you risk a third wave by the end of January at the latest.
“Less restrictive ‘Schnitzel Certificate'”
By 2021 Doskozil can in any case envision a “free trial” for tavern visits, weddings or thermal spa holidays: “A kind of ‘schnitzel certificate’ is less restrictive than permanent closures due to disastrous figures,” he said Doskozil.
When asked about rumors that his own party would not be reluctant to support the ÖVP in a coalition change on the fly, Doskozil also said: “I would reject it en masse, for the SPÖ it would be a sign of weakness.
Vorarlberg Governor Markus Wallner (ÖVP) appealed to the population of Vorarlberg to be open to corona tests and vaccinations. “It is up to us to decide whether the pandemic will come to an end or be prolonged,” Wallner said in the “Present Hour” of the state parliament. Those who are tested and vaccinated contribute to “regain our normal life.” Those who refuse, on the other hand, are helping to “prolong the nightmare.”
