Corona in Austria: Harsh exit restrictions threaten the Braunau district, which is on the border with Lower Bavaria.

One of the reasons for this is the low vaccination rates.

Braunau - If five more patients come to the intensive care unit, the Braunau district is threatened with tougher corona measures again.

This is reported by

Oe24

.

Braunau, located on the border with Germany, has an incidence of 416 and a low vaccination rate.

The district passed the 400 mark on Tuesday.

In connection with the vaccination quota, it is considered a marker for a high incidence area in Austria.

Corona in Austria: exit controls - soon 3G to leave Braunau?

There are currently 29 people in Braunau in the course of a corona infection in the intensive care unit.

If this value reaches the critical threshold of 34, further restrictions threaten.

This includes 3G exit controls.

That means, anyone who wants to leave the district must be tested negative, vaccinated or recovered.

Braunau has already passed such exit controls twice.

Last time the vaccination quota was still below 50 percent - therefore the critical threshold was already reached at an incidence of 300.

In the district, which is generally rather vaccine-tired, the rate has now risen to 50.1 percent.

Corona in Austria: Other districts are subject to exit controls

In the state of Salzburg there are

already exit controls

for three other districts, as

reported by

Oe24

: Annaberg-Lungötz, where around 2,230 people live, and Adnet, where 3,675 people live, are affected.

St. Koloman is also affected.

Only those who have tested PCR, those who have recovered and who have been vaccinated are allowed to leave the country.

The police control the exit roads.
