From Monday, December 20, only those who have already received the third dose of the anti Covid vaccine will be able to enter Austria without restrictions. People who have been vaccinated (but have not yet received the third dose) or cured will need to have a PCR negative swab no older than 72 hours.

Meanwhile, the French Minister of Health Olivier Ve'ran announced that from Wednesday all children aged 5 to 11 will be vaccinated.
"Hopefully, from 22 in the afternoon we will start vaccinating children in centers equipped for children," Ve'ran said on France Inter. On Friday the National Ethics Advisory Committee (CCNE) had expressed a favorable opinion for this age group. age.
