On Friday evening, the Austrian government decided the epidemiological rules for the Christmas and New Year holidays, according to which in the neighboring country
The curfew for the time zone is maintained between 8 am and 6 pm, and the encounters between two different households were maximized at 12 people (6 adults and 6 children).
The only exception to this will be on Christmas Eve and the first day of Christmas, when 10 adults and their children will be able to meet for two days, said Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz. As of December 26, however, the regulations still in force will come into force again. Although the night curfew will be lifted for one day on December 31, the staff rules will remain in effect. This means that there will also be a big New Year’s Eve party in Austria this year, which the chancellor says would be a disaster for January.
Also, you will need to wear a mask outdoors in frequented places. The provinces are free to decide which public areas will be subject to this provision. The use of masks will also be mandatory in workplaces where an adequate safety distance cannot be provided. The second round of massive testing underway was announced by the head of government in early January, and specific screening tests will be rolled out:
From now on, in all areas where close contact between people may occur, workers will be evaluated fortnightly with binding force. In addition to teachers, hairdressers, beauticians and masseurs, for example, also belong to this group.
The Chancellor emphasized that compliance with the standards of protection was crucial, as we were not far from the epidemic, and reiterated the public’s attention to the widest possible participation in mass testing. In Austria, 2,900 people have been diagnosed with the virus in the last 24 hours and 315,489 cases have been recorded since the outbreak began. Of the complications of the infection, 126 died on Friday, bringing the death toll to 4,289.
