It was foreseeable that the number of diseases would increase again by autumn at the latest. Why didn’t you bring staff earlier?
Hacker’s office says staff has increased since the summer. The latest development apparently took one by surprise: “We expected the level of infection to increase, but we didn’t know exactly when it would occur.”
Other federal states use police officers to track contacts. Why doesn’t Vienna do this?
This applies especially to rural districts that do not have their own staff, stressed the hacker’s spokesperson. In Vienna, municipal officials are used for this. Currently there are 350, now 500 would be added. If instead you added 500 police officers, they would have to be trained in the same way, and they would fall short of their real area of responsibility. “Vienna is not so blessed with policemen,” the spokesman said.
Why do some federal states have so many more quarantine controls?
Here too, Korosec locates huge deficits in Vienna. In Tirol, 30,000 police checks had been carried out at the beginning of July. According to Hacker’s office, there have been around 2,400 in Vienna to date. “Even if the police were called, it would be an illusion to be able to control everything without loopholes,” the spokesman replied. He can’t understand the Tyrolean numbers.
Is there a risk of postponing the Vienna elections?
That is not a problem at the moment, it is emphasized from all sides. In all phases of the crisis, one is prepared to hold elections.
