Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz spoke on “ServusTV” about the current Corona situation in Austria and also ventured a look into the future.
“The virus will stay. It will still be there in one year, it will still be there in three years, it will still be there in five years,” Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (ÖVP) made unequivocally clear Friday evening on “Servus Nachrichten” on “ServusTV.”
On how to deal with a further spread of the coronavirus in the country, Austria’s head of government said, “As much freedom as possible, as much restriction as necessary. That’s the 3G rule in certain areas throughout Austria and locally, if it seems necessary, then you can certainly make an additional contribution with mask.”
But with the 3G rule, he said, one has a very “efficient measure” that prevents infection rates from exploding. “The 3G rule definitely helps us and I don’t think it’s as big an encroachment on people’s freedoms as if certain areas were completely closed,” Kurz told “ServusTV.”
On the subject of mandatory PCR testing for travelers returning home, the 34-year-old VP leader was cautious. “Rules that bring something always make sense,” the chancellor said of the proposal by Health Minister Wolfgang Mückstein (Greens). But the question arose as to what could be controlled and what could not.
Kurz in “ServusTV”: “We experienced last summer that it is not at all easy, for example, to control everyone at the border when returning from Croatia.”
The chancellor also has a clear opinion on the traffic light commission, which Salzburg is currently the only federal state to have set to orange: “I am not part of the traffic light commission, so I have no desire to evaluate the decisions of the traffic light commission. I can only say I would like to describe it in words and not in colors,” the 34-year-old told “Servus Nachrichten”.
