However, as there have been stricter restrictions in Austria since Christmas banned accommodation around the ski resort, day trips have not been restricted, so a large number of people have visited the mountains during the holidays, according to Euronews reports.

Austria: even if there is no complete short circuit, there are restrictions

Mass testing will begin next week and a ski action plan is also in the works.

The ski slopes, in principle, could only accept locals, and all skiers over the age of fourteen had to wear a mask that covered their nose and mouth if they wanted to use the chairlift.

A full shutdown will take effect in Austria from Saturday

The total closure will be ordered again in Austria from December 26, with a government decree approved by parliament on Tuesday.

Still, there was a large crowd on the Austrian ski slopes over the weekend, and the car parks were already full in the morning. As a result, congestion developed on the roads leading to various ski resorts, which also led to an accident. The ski slopes of Bodental, Carinthia, were closed on Sunday and the toboggan run in Semmeringen, near Vienna. The decision was based on too many people getting too close.
