Nearly 300 cases of the South African crown mutant are said to have already been confirmed in Tyrol. That is why Austria declares the federal state on the border with Switzerland a risk zone.
However, the Swiss authorities leave him cold. It is not doing anything in relation to Tirol. The Federal Office of Public Health (BAG) notes, in response to a VIEW request, that exceptions can be made for foreign border areas despite the high number of infections. Observe the situation.
Tirol special case
The reason for this is the close economic, social and cultural exchange. That is why Tyrol is not currently on the risk list. At the same time, the BAG has been warning for weeks about the mutated corona viruses from South Africa and Britain, which are said to be more contagious than the original virus and are always cited as the reason the lockdown in the se considers the end of the month unlikely.
The inaction of the authorities is staggering when you consider that Switzerland stopped flights from Britain before Christmas to prevent the British mutant from being introduced.
Stores open
Of course, both mutation variants are now found in Switzerland. However, it could have been assumed that the Swiss authorities are trying to prevent the risk of mutants from spreading further.
Even more so since Austria is reopening its stores. Meanwhile, Italy’s South Tyrol enters a tough three-week lockdown since Monday, various regional media reported. (pt)
