Health Minister Wolfgang Mückstein (Greens) has issued the decree for the next relaxations in the Corona pandemic. These include, for example, extention of the opening of restaurants and bars from 10 p.m. to midnight, raising the occupancy rate for cultural institutions from 50 percent to 75 percent, and lifting the mask and distance requirement for gatherings of up to eight people. It will start on Thrusday next week, June 10, 2021.
In the gastronomy sector, waiters must continue to wear masks outdoors, however. Indoors, a maximum of eight adults are allowed per table; outdoors, 16 adults plus children in need of supervision. These limits also apply to gatherings in private. For gatherings of up to eight people, a mask is also not required. The distance rule also does not apply.
Particularly favorable for retailers and museums is that the square meter/customer count is limited from 20 to ten. At the same time, the minimum distance is halved to one meter.
The mask requirement, which still applies outdoors at events, will no longer apply. At worksites, non-public sports venues, and recreational and cultural facilities without on-site staff, 3-G proof (vaccinated, recovered, or tested) must be kept on hand, but no longer must be shown in advance.
For tour buses and excursion boats, the occupancy restriction is lifted, but 3-G proof is required. Cable cars and rack-and-pinion trains can be filled up to 75 percent.
As for extracurricular children and youth work, 50 participants will be allowed starting June 10. This also applies to supervised vacation camps.
A rather smaller innovation already comes into force tomorrow, Friday. For casual markets, where only goods, food and beverages are offered for sale, neither 3-G proof nor contact data collection is required.
