To contain the Corona crisis, the Austrian government wants to close shops and schools for three weeks and impose exit restrictions for the whole day. This emerged on Saturday from a draft ordinance that was presented to the German Press Agency in Vienna.
Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (ÖVP), Health Minister Rudolf Anschober (Greens) and other members of the government will announce the plan in the afternoon at a press conference. The measures must be applied from Tuesday to Sunday, December 6, inclusive.
Wide-ranging interventions are planned, as in the so-called strict spring closure, when for the first time there was a total stalemate in public life, including the initial rules, due to the pandemic. Gastronomy, tourism, cultural activities and leisure facilities are closed from November 3. Additionally, check-out restrictions apply from 8 pm to 6 am, which only allow you to leave the “private living space” for a number of specific reasons, such as meeting basic needs, work and training, caring for those in need, and relaxing outdoors.
