The Coronavirus Emergency Staff – i.e. the government – has already plans for the emergency the “second wave” – a renewed exponential growth of the Corona virus – is to be avoided by a step-by-step plan:

  • The most important thing, the government says, is testing. We are still a long way from the original 15,000 tests per day.
  • What is already happening are screenings – i.e. in certain areas, such as precarious work, nursing homes and hospitals, targeted testing of symptom-free people in order to detect clusters.
  • Containment is just as important. This means immediate contact tracing – i.e. the most complete possible tracing of contacts of infected persons. In theory, all first and second contacts should be tested.
  • Alarm mechanisms from 50 infected persons per 100,000
  • If an infection spreads – as is now the case in several districts in Upper Austria – a critical limit is specified in the emergency plan.
  • This critical figure is not the reproduction rate, but – as in Germany – 50 sick persons per 100,000 inhabitants. Linz-Land is currently already above the critical level!
  • In this case, there should again be a consistent obligation to wear masks for all enclosed spaces in the region concerned.
  • Schools, kindergartens and universities will also be closed.
  • In this case, bars and all night restaurants will also have to close.
  • Smaller rural regions would be closed off in the event of an outbreak of infection of this magnitude.
  • Larger cities and regions would have to pay attention to strict quarantine of the infected and their contact persons and test will be conducted.

Will there now even be a nationwide mask requirement again?

These measures are likely to be tightened up this week . Nationwide measures – such as the reintroduction of compulsory masks in closed rooms – are also possible.
