But he did not reveal any details. Because the plan is currently still in final coordination with the coalition partner, said the minister on the sidelines of a press conference on Tuesday. He was “not satisfied” with the current vaccination rate. Therefore, further low-threshold vaccination offers are planned.
The very first goal for Mückstein is to avoid closures. For this purpose, measures have already been taken in the past few weeks, he referred to the requirement of the second stitch for the vaccination entry in the Green Passport, the PCR test obligation for travelers returning from certain countries as well as access to night gastronomy only with vaccination or PCR test. In addition, he had put proposals on the table such as shortening the validity period of antigen tests to 24 hours and an indoor mask requirement.
To increase the vaccination rate, people continue to rely on low-threshold offers such as vaccinations in St. Stephen’s Cathedral or in shopping centers, according to Mückstein. The aim here is to find a mixture of good information and additional offers. He also expects solidarity with the children who are currently unable to be vaccinated up to the age of twelve.
