After a meeting with representatives of culture, associations and tourism in Tyrol,Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said Friday at a media appointment in Innsbruck that he could now make the commitment “that the safety standards that we still have, can be relaxed.”
Easing of distance regulations and curfews
The goal is to ease “distance regulations, square meter restrictions and curfew hours,” Kurz said. There should be widespread normality during the summer. “Once we have offered vaccination to everyone who wants it, the state will have done its job. Then it’s back to normality, to freedom, to a normal life,” the chancellor announced during a visit to a newly opened department store in the state capital. He acknowledged, however, that there would still be areas that are “particularly sensitive” – such as health care.
Tyrol’s governor Günther Platter (ÖVP) was pleased with these prospects, saying that the call for relaxation – especially among clubs and associations – was “very understandable.” Above all, he said, the distance regulations were very difficult for associations. The governor wants to discuss with the federal government and other states about further relaxations in a meeting next Friday.
