In addition, the newly started aid measures for the economy are to be evaluated. No decisions should be made at the appointment. The goal is to go well coordinated into the second half of the lockdown, it was said on Sunday evening.
On the government side, Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg and Tourism Minister Elisabeth Kstinger (both VP) as well as Vice Chancellor Werner Kogler and Health Minister Wolfgang Mckstein (both Greens) will take part in the round table. How things will continue from December 12th, when the lockdown for vaccinated and convalescents is largely over according to the government’s announcement, will not be an issue yet. After all, the necessary forecast data would not be available until Wednesday, according to a spokeswoman for Mcksteins.
Special regulation for Santa Claus
The meeting with social partners and experts takes place in the run-up to the meeting of the main committee in the National Council at which the exit restrictions are to be extended up to and including December 11 on Tuesday afternoon. This is necessary because, according to the law, measures restricting freedom can only be adopted for a maximum of ten days.
The government’s draft ordinance must be submitted no later than 24 hours before the start of the meeting and thus by Monday afternoon. It is already known from this that there will again be a special arrangement for Nicholas visits this year. Compliance with safety precautions is a prerequisite. Vaccinated and recovered Santa Clauses are allowed to travel without a mask, only those who have been tested have to additionally wear an FFP2 mask.
