Constitutional lawyer Heinz Mayer tells KURIER that such regulation could be argued for the catering sector: “If the person who was tested negative on the day of the test and becomes infected the next day, it will go from five to six days until it is infectious. ” This means that the one week period may be “factually justified”. At first glance, the distinction between gastronomy and events is justifiable: “You could argue that it is easier to implement safety precautions in gastronomy,” says Mayer.
“Not easy” requirements
So is there no unequal treatment? The cultural scene sees it differently, and was constantly surprised by the requirements to re-unlock. When the KURIER asked the big organizers how they wanted to control the events, they said: they still didn’t know. “We are still waiting for clarification, as there are still unanswered questions, such as what test certificates should look like,” said Bundestheater Holding director Christian Kircher.
There was criticism from the cultural side of the accumulation of requirements for the organizers: performances only during the day, very limited capacity, and now the organizers are also responsible for ensuring that the audience is tested. However, it was said that they would be unlocked again after January 18.
For her it is “clear” that the requirements for culture “are not easy,” said Secretary of State for Art Andrea Mayer (Greens) at the request of KURIER. She is happy “for every cultural event that can take place in these conditions.” “It is important that the tests are available across the board, hassle-free and free to everyone in Austria after the massive tests in mid-January. Details will be specified in a new health ministry ordinance in early January.“, then Mayer.
Rendi-Wagner defines the limit value
In 2020, the government did not want to give more details on whether the freest should only request from January 18 to 24 inclusive or beyond. Overall, Anschober is confident that the current schedule will stick. Its first minimum goal for 2021: to bring the seven-day incidence from the current 150 to less than 100.
SPÖ party leader Pamela Rendi-Wagner was specific on Twitter: There is no need to discuss a relaxation of the lockdown from January 18, “if infections do not fall below 1000 in the next ten days.” This limit relates to how long the lockdown should last, not to the issue of free trials, a SPÖ spokesperson said. Here you await the exact text of the law. Background: If the SPÖ, FPÖ and Neos do not agree with the Federal Council’s Friday Friday, the regulation would be postponed for weeks and therefore invalid.
