Austria relaxes rules for the unvaccinated

Austria relaxes rules for the unvaccinated

A decision made despite the high number of infections related to the Omicron variant.

From February 5, Austria will therefore extend the maximum allowed opening hours for restaurants and businesses to midnight and increase the number of people who can participate in the events from 25 to 50, Nehammer said.

“Hospital numbers are at a good level,” he added, “intensive care beds, I think it’s fair to say, are at a very good level.”

Days ago the chancellor had lifted the confinement for the unvaccinated in force for a few weeks.

These relaxations are the consequence of a drop in pressure in hospitals, despite the fact that infections are high.

In addition, the number of coronavirus patients in intensive care is at its lowest level since mid-September and almost three-quarters of the population is vaccinated against the virus that was born in Wuhan, China.
