In view of the surge in corona infections in Austria, the government and federal states on Friday decided to tighten measures against the virus. In the run-up to the meeting in Pertisau in Tyrol, calls for a new nationwide lockdown were loud. The federal states of Upper Austria and Salzburg announced on Thursday that they would single-handedly impose a lockdown in the event of a non-agreement.
Like many European countries, Austria is currently fighting a violent corona wave with new highs in new infections. On Thursday, the authorities reported a record of 15,145 infections within 24 hours. This means that in the country with a total of around 8.9 million inhabitants, the threshold of one million confirmed infections has been exceeded since the start of the pandemic.
