“Not everyone who is infected with Corona actually gets sick. The fact is: We want to protect those who get sick as best as possible and avoid overloading our intensive care units,” said LH Thomas Stelzer (ÖVP), who decided on Friday in Upper Austria Occupations. Therefore, in addition to the obligation of gastronomic registration, “very specific extended protection measures are being introduced in residences for the elderly and the elderly.”
In view of the increasing number of infections, which make contact person management more and more challenging, the decision was made to compulsorily register as a guest, said Markus Achleitner (ÖVP), Minister of State for Economic Affairs. “Of course, we are aware that this measure means additional work for the restaurant industry, but with mandatory guest registration we can avoid more serious measures such as shortening the curfew, partial closures in the restaurant sector or the ban to serve alcohol “. Since the measure also makes media calls in case of infections obsolete, companies would no longer be on the media screen if an infected guest were in the restaurant, Achleitner stressed.
Upper Austria: a maximum of two visitors per resident
In the future, visitors to nursing homes will have to wear masks, fever will be measured at the entrance and you will have to provide your contact details to facilitate the management of any contact person that is required. A maximum of two visitors per day per resident is allowed. In addition, employees receive improved hygiene training. “The last few days have shown that there is a need for increased protection measures, especially in the area of the elderly and nursing homes. The new Corona concept offers this protection,” said the LH Health Warrant Officer. Christine Haberlander (ÖVP) and the social counselor Birgit Gerstorfer (SPÖ).
As part of a pilot project, new antigen tests are being tested and are coming onto the market at the 125-bed Esternberg District Nursing Home. They wanted to get an idea of its practicality, it said. Antigen tests are cheaper and can be evaluated more quickly than PCR tests, but they are less sensitive.
