Lockdown decided only for the unvaccinated
Corona hammer in Austria: If the intensive care beds in the hospitals are used to 30 percent, unvaccinated people should go into lockdown! This was decided by the federal government and the state representatives for a joint video conference on Friday evening. It is not yet known what the lockdown will look like. 30 percent occupancy corresponds to 600 intensive care beds in Austria.
The conference was convened due to the increasing corona numbers in Austria.
A step-by-step plan was adopted to cushion the consequences of the pandemic. With a 25 percent occupancy rate (500 beds) of the intensive care beds, 2G (recovery and vaccination) should be introduced for gastronomy, hotels, events as well as hospital and care visits, it was decided. A PCR test is then no longer sufficient.
There are currently 224 intensive care beds in Austria. This means that our neighboring country is on level 1 of their Corona step-by-step plan. At level 2, the 2G rule applies to night gastronomy and events without permanently assigned seats for 500 people or more. It is expected that this level will be reached as early as next week. At level 3 (400 occupied beds) the antigen test is no longer valid. (from the)
