Anyone looking for an answer to this question will inevitably end up in a meeting on Thursday. In this, the so-called traffic light commission decided which districts should receive which color. Participants describe the meeting as controversial. The head of the commission, Clemens Martin Auer, sees it differently: he was friendly, he says (see right).
But it is indisputable that a number of problems and points of criticism were immediately apparent at the meeting. And it is also indisputable that the decision about which region is given which color is not always made in harmony, but sometimes against real resistance.
The KURIER offers a chronological summary of how the first, sometimes controversial traffic light switch came about:
Thursday, 3 pm, Ministry of Health:
The 19 members of the commission (five from the federal government, nine from the federal states, five medical experts from epidemiology, virology, medical-clinical area, for example from AGES) begin their meeting.
As is often the case, the meeting takes place primarily online, federal representatives are on site, and federal state representatives are online.
In the course of the presentation, each federal state and therefore each district is examined individually.
Comparative questions arise early in the meeting for which there are still no satisfactory answers today, Saturday, namely: What happens if a district “changes” to a new “superior” color? So who prescribes what?
