Will the Länderbund follow if it opens?
According to Nehammer, the opening is now just a question of how. In addition to retail, the catering, hotel and other areas can also open up on request. The protective measures are open. It is also unclear how the individual federal states will proceed. Details are to be clarified on Wednesday in discussions between the federal and state governments in Vienna.
Salzburg welcomes the end of the lockdown
From the office of Salzburg Governor Wilfried Haslauer (ÖVP) it said on Tuesday afternoon to SALZBURG24: “We welcome them as long as they can be justified from a virological point of view and are accompanied by increased measures. And that is definitely autumn, otherwise it would not have been announced. ”In Salzburg, 245 new corona infections were reported on Tuesday. The seven-day incidence is 665.9. That is a significant decrease.
“A uniform federal solution is desirable”
The federal government is expected to follow the procedure provided that there is no additional need for action from the Salzburg point of view. A nationwide solution is generally desirable. What the opening steps will look like in detail and which accompanying measures are necessary will be discussed during the consultation tomorrow.

Gastronomy will not follow until December 20th. It will be clear tomorrow which way Salzburg will finally decide.
