Parallel to the tightening of the corona measures, students also returned to their classes in six Austrian states on Monday. A compulsory wearing of masks has been implemented not only in all stores, but also in schools (outside the classroom). As reported, the new rules were introduced nationwide and independently of the much-discussed Corona traffic light. Due to the resulting confusion and the increasing number of new infections, the commission met again on Monday evening. After hours of debate, the commission switched from yellow to orange the capital city of Vienna and Innsbruck!
Other towns and districts with orange traffic light: Kufstein (T), Dornbirn and Bludenz (Vbg.) as well as Mödling and Neunkirchen (NÖ) . 34 further regions are classified yellow.
Even tougher measures in gastronomy and at events are expected. The orange traffic light at schools could have enormous effects: Music lessons could be dropped and homeschooling for upper school classes.
To the current numbers: On Monday 382 positive tests were reported, the focus remains on Vienna with 163 cases.
