Austria's Federal Chancellor Schallenberg wants to slow down the rapidly increasing number of infections with a drastic measure.
The majority of the federal states support the plans.
Vienna - In Austria, a new corona crisis meeting is emerging among the nine federal states of broad agreement to far-reaching restrictions for unvaccinated people.
That shows an overview of the news agency APA from Saturday.
Federal Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg and Health Minister Wolfgang Mückstein want to consult with the federal states on Sunday and set the course for an extensive lockdown for unvaccinated people.
Parliament should then approve the regulation on Sunday evening.
On Saturday, the reported new corona infections reached a record again: more than 13,000 infections were recorded within one day.
The seven-day incidence per 100,000 population rose to 814.6.
It was only at the beginning of the week that Austria introduced the 2G rule for bars, tourism, events and sports in view of the sharp rise in numbers.
This means that only those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered have access.
"We have to pull together to fight the corona pandemic," said the governor (prime minister) of Styria, Hermann Schützenhöfer, of the APA.
It is sensible to act nationwide, said Lower Austria's governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner.
“The lack of willingness to vaccinate some must not lead to restrictions on all.” Vienna's Mayor Michael Ludwig also supported the plans.
Salzburg and Upper Austria are also behind it, Carinthia and Vorarlberg want to wait for the meeting.

The President of the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (KMK), Britta Ernst (SPD), does not consider equipment with air filters in all schools to be suitable, with reference to experts.
"We adhere to the recommendations of the Federal Environment Agency, which do not consider it sensible to equip all classrooms with air filters across the board because we cannot avoid ventilation," said the Brandenburg Education Minister of the newspaper "Prignitzer" (Wednesday).

Tyrolean governor Günther Platter, as chairman of the governor's conference, said that the other governors agreed to a lockdown for the unvaccinated.
Only the representative of Burgenland remained skeptical.
The question is how a “lockdown for unvaccinated people” should work in practice and how it can be explained, said Governor Hans Peter Doskozil of the APA.
