Health Minister Wolfgang Mückstein (Greens) explained in the Kleine Zeitung that we will “basically still have the mask obligation” in summer and also in winter. This apparently applies primarily to indoor areas. “We will be able to talk about the mask obligation outdoors,” says the department head.
The statements are surprising in that Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (ÖVP) had recently announced that next Friday they would talk with the provincial governors about the future of the FFP2 mask in Austria.
Because in close rooms, paired with long stay, the risk increases to be infected. He left the exact form of the future mask obligation open. In principle, however, the minister declared his support for the wearing of masks in schools. These would help protect children who have not yet been vaccinated.
