The Vienna Corona Summit with Mayor Michael Ludwig and high-ranking experts was eagerly awaited on Wednesday. After all, Ludwig had expressed extreme skepticism in advance (due to the spread of the highly contagious delta variant) about the broad opening steps taken by the federal government – putting it on the line that Vienna will not support all opening measures.
“The health care crisis is not over yet. I see it differently than some politicians in Austria,” Ludwig explained. “The virus doesn’t take a vacation. In comparable countries, a strong dynamic has developed due to the Delta variant.” Delta is significantly more infectious than the original variant, he added: “At the European soccer championships, we saw outdoor contagions.” Postscript: “Therefore, until full immunization of the population is achieved, we will put measures in place in Vienna.”
Key points: The city is relying on the more reliable PCR rather than anti-gene testing. Self-controlled anti-gene tests will no longer be accepted where 3G regulation applies. “We want to limit antigen testing to controlled testing formats such as test streets and pharmacies,” said Ludwig, who is fully committed to Vienna’s throat testing. Testing, directly in a pub, is no longer an option.
Another change: children aged six to twelve must show a negative PCR gargle test if, for example, they want to accompany their parents to a restaurant.
In hospitals, the strict rules remain in place: Per day, one person is allowed to visit one patient. The FFP2 mask requirement continues to apply there.
In Viennese gastronomy, one’s own contact details for contact tracing must still be provided. This applies, for example, to kindergartens and gastronomy.
