“If nothing improves in the federal government’s management of the crown, shortly after the second lockdown we will see an increase in corona cases again, you cannot look at it that fast,” Rendi-Wagner warned of a third lockdown. Instead of the massive tests announced by Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (ÖVP), which would only bring a “snapshot”, systematic tests are needed for at-risk groups in nursing homes and elderly, health workers and teachers, demanded the head of the SP.
Rendi-Wagner: “Anyone can close”
The SPÖ clearly rejects restrictions on the operation of schools. “Anyone can lock up, that’s not a great feat,” Rendi-Wagner said, criticizing the government’s neglect of developing “smart security concepts” for schools for months. Now children are threatened by an educational gap that they would have to carry around like a backpack for their entire lives. In addition, Rendi-Wagner referred to the latest AGES data, according to which the frequency of infection among high school students even increased after they switched to homeschooling and in which schools do not appear as “drivers of infection “.
“An emergency brake is needed, but it is by no means necessary to close schools in Austria,” Rendi-Wagner explained, so the SPÖ will not accept the stricter closure in the main committee of the National Council on Sunday evening. Because the ÖVP and the Greens have a majority there, the government does not depend on opposition votes anyway. Rendi-Wagner calls on the government to quickly ensure that the contact persons of infected people are properly traced: “That is flying blind, it is negligent and irresponsible.”
