A corresponding photo that was circulating on social media was already taken on December 29 in compliance with the 2G rule, it said on Saturday. A week later, Nehammer had tested negative for the corona virus. "The infection took place after his return from vacation," wrote Chancellor spokesman Daniel Kosak on Twitter. Nehammer tested positive on Friday. "The infection happened through a member of my security team," said Nehammer on Twitter.

He had no symptoms, said the Chancellor on ORF radio on Saturday.

Thanks to a booster vaccination, the disease is harmless.

Despite the latest critical voices, the ÖVP-Greens government will stick to the corona vaccination plan planned for February 1, emphasized Nehammer.

He does not want to rule out a vaccination bonus to increase the willingness to give protective injections.

However, more detailed analyzes have shown that money alone cannot convince vaccine skeptics.

The Chancellor referred to the experiences of companies that could not have achieved convincing vaccination results even with higher premiums.
