“We have to speak together and follow a line,” he said on Monday evening in the “ZiB Spezial”. “We have to act together.” The Minister of Health is often called upon, but he has a good basis for discussions with him, said Schallenberg when asked whether Mückstein was doing the job well.
Schallenberg reiterated his rejection of the night curfew proposed by Mückstein for everyone. The government did not even take far-reaching decisions 24 hours ago and he could not imagine, with the best of will, that solidarity is now being demanded from a large – vaccinated – part of the population. “I want to bring the unvaccinated to the vaccination and not lock the vaccinated.” All measures would be aimed at getting the unvaccinated to be vaccinated. That is also the common goal of the government.

Closing the gastronomy would bring social and economic disadvantages, but only little to dampen the pandemic. The only way to get out of “this vicious circle” is through vaccination. “Everyone who has not been vaccinated will be infected sooner or later,” said Schallenberg and “took this opportunity” to wish the infected FPÖ boss Herbert Kickl and his family a speedy recovery.
The Chancellor was skeptical about mandatory vaccinations for everyone. He could imagine this for special professions, for example in the health sector, but not for all. “I continue to rely on conviction and incentives and unfortunately God also needs a certain threat.” The increased number of vaccinations in the last few days shows that it works.
Schallenberg also made it clear that there will be no new corona advisory summit on Wednesday, but that this day is only the ten-day reference date since the introduction of 2G.
