A letter will soon reach the office of the Minister of Health, Rudi Anschober. The letter could cancel the initial step on December 7.
Another week of “hard blocking”, or much more? Green Health Minister Rudi Anschober receives mail this week from the heads of the nine public hospital operators. In the letter, which the “Kleine Zeitung” already had before being dispatched, the hospitals appeal not to reopen everything after the closure of the lockdown on December 7, but to take measures to “reduce the incidence of infections and keep them at a low level. low “.
According to the “Kleine Zeitung”, the letter is signed by all members of the board of directors of Krages (Burgenland), Kabeg (Carinthia), the Upper Austrian health holding company, Salk (Salzburg), Kages (Styria), Tirol Kliniken , the operating company of the Vorarlberg hospital, the Vienna Health Association and Lower Austria Landeskliniken Holding. It is an urgent warning to implement the initial steps quickly and completely. Media: If possible, the block should continue to hold.
“Public hospitals at the limit of their capacity”
The reason given is that the “public hospitals have reached the limit of their capacities” and that only thanks to the enormous commitment of the employees were they able to somehow control the “high costs of treatment”. Only the confinement prevented worse things and now we can see “first notable effects”, but a “clear and sustainable reduction in the number of infections and therefore in the hospitalization rate is urgent to relieve our staff.”
A “step-by-step start-up and guarantee of normal operation” is only possible through a very low number of infections, according to the board members. A final decision will be made in the Council of Ministers on Wednesday, but some things are already becoming apparent. The only thing that should really open on December 7 is trading, know “Today”. A reasonably normal Christmas business should be possible this year, although a rigid limit of people should apply (10 square meters per customer in smaller stores, 20 in larger stores). Also in shopping malls, the long lines you saw before closing should not be repeated.
