Now it is fixed: starting next week there will be exit checks in Wiener Neustadt. The corresponding decree was sent to the magistrate on Saturday morning. The decree literally says: “The controls must be carried out with the greatest possible intensity by means of random controls. For this, the assistance of the Austrian Armed Forces can be requested.” When exactly it will be checked has not yet been determined, per NÖN’s request from the city council. Consequently, further testing is needed to implement the scenario and is not yet available.
The mayor of the ÖVP, Klaus Schneeberger, in an initial reaction: “I assume that on Monday the relevant additional measures will be taken to issue the necessary ordinance at the state level. In the meantime, we are preparing in the city for the measures to be taken. Positive It should be noted that our pressure has apparently worked and it is a complete isolation of the table. The checks ordered by Minister Anschober are carried out on a random basis, in the hope that the dreaded chaos at the train station and at the exits of the city not materialize. “
However, it is clear to him that the necessary testing capabilities must be available to the population. “I suppose we have to run 15,000 tests a day. Currently 2,000 people are tested a day, so we are the leader in terms of the number of inhabitants in Austria. A prerequisite for mass expansion of testing is the availability of sufficient kits. of test and test material by the Ministry of Health, an assistance mission of the Armed Forces and sufficiently qualified personnel available to carry out the tests. Therefore, I assume that the controls ordered by Minister Anschober will not be able to be implemented until the end of next week at least. If Minister Anschober had it in the final days before the ordinance was enacted, we thought it was worth the effort to contact the city to discuss organizational measures, rather than leaving us in the dark as Those responsible, we would do it today have made more progress and could have stopped a lot of uncertainty.
Discussions are already underway with emergency organizations, the armed forces and the state of Lower Austria to establish testing capabilities. More details will be announced on Monday. “Finally, I ask the Minister of Health once again to provide enough vaccine for Wiener Neustadt, similar to Schwaz in Tyrol. The city has taken the organizational precautions. Because the vaccination of the population is actually the factor of change more effective in fighting the pandemic, “said Schneeberger
The exit tests are viewed critically by the city government and recently there have been strong protests among the population. Among other things, massive disabilities are feared for travelers.
