The government should introduce this 1G rule across Austria for areas with a high risk of infection, she demanded in a broadcast. In this way, the vaccination rate should be increased, especially among young people.
Risk when starting school
Only ten percent of 12 to 17 year olds are currently fully vaccinated. For the start of school in autumn, this brings a dangerous starting position, so Rendi-Wagner. From their point of view, however, the schools must remain open. There should be vaccination campaigns in schools and PCR gargle tests once a week for all school levels. In addition, air filter systems should be used and additional rooms rented in order to better comply with distance and hygiene rules.
The SP leader also wants positive vaccination incentives. Rendi-Wagner is thinking of free tickets for concerts and sporting events, but also of vaccination lotteries or an extra day of vacation. In their opinion, the 3G rule – vaccinated, recovered, tested – should apply at the workplace. There are currently no protective provisions for open-plan offices, distribution centers or meat processing plants, she criticized.
