Just leave the house for no good reason - only those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered are allowed to do this here.
Since this Monday, there has been a nationwide lockdown for unvaccinated people in Austria - initially for ten days and for all people aged twelve and over.
Quotes:
“Yes, my opinion is, it's really really, really difficult to control. I don't even know how they want to do it. But it is surely a way of creating compulsory vaccinations through such a back door. "
“In this case, it will be absolutely necessary to have a vaccination. If a disease is capable of paralyzing a state, then one must be able to take appropriate measures. Because if we can prescribe lockdowns that also affect rights, then that would be the least. After all, the unvaccinated people are to be blamed for the whole misery in this case. What is left there? "
Austria is looking for a way out of the fourth wave in the corona crisis.
The seven-day incidence per 100,000 population is now over 890. At around 65 percent, the vaccination rate is one of the lowest in Western Europe.
In lockdown, two million Austrians are now only allowed to leave their apartments to buy groceries, to go to work and to the doctor, and to relax physically.
At first they are not allowed to stroll through the Christmas market.
Original sound:
"I think that is okay. He's totally fine with me. Because it would be better if the whole thing could be ended. And the more people are vaccinated - and that is a fact and scientifically proven - the sooner we can go back to normal life. "
The police have doubts as to whether the lockdown can be controlled at all.
And the citizens are also skeptical:
Original sound:
“I think it is fundamentally right that we are now heading for somewhat more stringent measures, now that the numbers are going up again. But I'm not exactly sure what the difference to the 2G regulation in general is, except for the stricter controls, which may be difficult to implement. "
On Sunday, several hundred people protested against the measures in front of the Chancellery in Vienna.
But there were no mass rallies.
