The operators of the ski areas can also make friends with the 2G regulation: “Better a safe season than no season at all,” the Handelsblatt quotes the hotel industry spokeswoman for the Austrian Chamber of Commerce, Susanne Kraus-Winkler.

Vaccinated people could soon be affected by stricter corona measures
Despite the 2G rule, vaccinated people must also be careful not to be excluded in the future.
From December 6th, the
vaccination certificate will only be valid if the second vaccination dose was a maximum of nine months ago
.
After that, a booster vaccination is required to continue to be considered fully vaccinated.
Until then, however, access should still be possible with an initial vaccination and an additional PCR test.
Individuals who have been vaccinated with Johnson & Johnson's vaccine will need a second dose of vaccine from January 3rd for a valid certificate.
Children under the age of 12 are exempt from the 2G rule.
