This is the draft for the next blockade regulation – coronavirus –

Tomorrow at 4.30 pm, the government will most likely announce the next blockade for Austria.

VOL.AT now has a draft of the corresponding regulation. Among other things, this includes exit restrictions from 8 pm to 6 am and bar closings. Events are prohibited, at least zoos, museums and libraries remain open. Visits to hospitals or nursing homes require an on-site test or an effective protective mask.

The draft, which is dated Thursday at 11pm and one or the other will likely be changed, also outlines the exceptions to the night curfew, and these are quite extensive. Among other things, mention is made of caring for and helping people, professional activities, staying outdoors for physical and psychological recovery, but also “meeting the basic needs of daily life.”

Getting a pizza quickly won’t be one of them. Because in restaurants, even to take away, it is 8:00 p.m. A pick-up service can be offered from 6 a.m. The dining rooms (workplaces, hospitals, nursing homes, after-school care centers), dining cars and hotel restaurants remain open for guests of this hotel (until 8 pm at the latest).

Of course, tourists will no longer be able to stay in the accommodations. According to the draft, only those whose holidays are already running will be able to enjoy it until the planned end. Otherwise, rooms can only be provided for people on business trips or in need of accommodation.

It gets crowded in November with leisure activities. Sport is still possible, but only if you don’t get too close physically: jogging, yes, playing soccer, no. Only professional athletes can carry out their activity more or less without restrictions, although public access to sporting events is not allowed. In other words, when the regulations come into force, the European Football Cup, for example, will only be able to be seen on television.

Pools, amusement parks, dance schools, indoor playgrounds and much more need to be closed completely. According to the draft, museums, zoos, libraries and parks are excluded.

The events are generally prohibited; Cultural and sporting events, for example, but also fairs, occasional markets, exhibitions, congresses and, last but not least, weddings are explicitly mentioned. Only funerals can continue to be held, but only 50 mourners are allowed. Meetings of organs of political parties or events for religious purposes are excluded from the event ban.

Employees can only enter nursing homes, nursing homes, and homes for the disabled if a molecular or antigenic biological test for corona is performed twice a week and the result is negative. Visitors can only enter these facilities if an antigen test is performed immediately at the entrance and the result is negative, or if an FFP2 mask is worn continuously during the visit. Only one visit per patient is allowed, with the exception of palliative and hospice support. The same rules apply to hospitals and spas, except for the restriction to one person per day.

In addition to a mask requirement that applies to virtually all indoor venues, there are also a number of smaller regulations, such as a ban on overcrowded cars. Only two people are allowed to sit in each row, unless they are from the same household.
