Austrian Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg does not rule out a lockdown for the unvaccinated at the national level
, after the announcement of Upper Austria to take this measure to break the contagion curve. A no vax lockdown "seems inevitable," Schallenberg said, stating that there will be no "vaccinated solidarity lockdown." "I don't understand why two thirds of the population should limit their freedoms just because a third hesitates" to get vaccinated, added the chancellor. "This Christmas will be uncomfortable for the unvaccinated," he said.
The German health minister, Jens Spahn, said that public events in Germany can only be attended if immunized (vaccinated or cured)
and in any case presenting a negative test. He said this in Berlin, at a press conference with the president of the Koch Institut Lothar Wieler. The institute, in its weekly report, in the light of the explosion of contagion and the overload of the health facilities of some Laender, advised to "cancel or avoid" major events, however allowing only the so-called "2G plus", launched precisely by Spahn.
