Germany, extension of closure until January 31 | Austria, lockout extended until 24/1 | Scotland “closed”

Austria extends blockade until January 24 Meanwhile, in Austria, the lockdown has been extended until January 24. The opposition has rejected the possibility that it was planned to be rehearsed in order to access work and therefore commerce, gastronomy, tourism and schools will remain closed until January 24. This was announced by the president of the parliamentary group OeVP August Wöginger. Previously, it was scheduled to open on January 18, for those who tested negative.

Scotland locked up since midnight Scotland is once again on lockdown, starting at midnight on Monday, to cope with the surge in Covid infections driven by variants of the virus recorded in recent weeks. This was announced by the prime minister of the local government, Nicola Sturgeon, saying that she was “more worried than in March” and indicating a closure of “3 or 4 weeks”. Scotland had not adopted a second blockade in December unlike England, although it maintained severe restrictions.
