Rising numbers of infections mean stricter corona rules
Vienna. In Austria, the rapidly increasing number of infections is leading to tightening of the corona rules for unvaccinated people. After the federal states of Styria and Tyrol, Upper Austria and Carinthia will soon no longer allow unvaccinated people in restaurants and bars under certain conditions. This also applies if you can show a negative test, as the federal states decided on Friday. The measures will come into force in Upper Austria on November 8th and in Carinthia on November 4th.

The rules apply to night gastronomy and events without assigned seats from 500 people. Only those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered will have access. In many places it is mandatory to wear an FFP2 mask. The controls are to be tightened.
Because of the rapidly increasing numbers, several districts already had a test obligation to leave the country for all those who had decided or decided who are neither vaccinated nor recovered.
