Even in the “hard” confinement, the ordinations remain open without restrictions. However, a telephone appointment is desired.

The ordinations remain open without restrictions even in the hard confinement. This was emphasized by the medical association and at the same time pointed out the “absolute” need to make appointments. Accompanying persons should only come to the ordination after a consultation.

Unrestricted open hard lock sorts

Well-organized appointment management, also electronically, ensures that as few patients as possible are in ordination waiting rooms at the same time. This greatly reduces the risk of infection both among themselves and with management personnel.

With all these security measures, ordinations are as secure as possible, stressed the president of the Medical Association, Thomas Szekeres.

Doctors see confinement as an alternative

The new tightening of the measures by the government is described by the medical association as “no alternative” and consequently supported: “Without countermeasures, the intensive care units in hospitals in all federal states would reach their capacity limits,” he said. Szekeres. If the increase in the number of infections does not decrease, Austria could lose control of what is happening: “It must be avoided at all costs”.

The association of municipalities also gives signs of approval. Its president, Alfred Riedl, considers prompt and courageous action necessary. He assured that the mayors will make their contribution again and will communicate the new measures of the federal government to the communities and villages.
