Austrians for the most part adhere to Covid measures
When asked about their personal behavior, 50 percent say they continue to strictly adhere to all measures because they “absolutely do not want to be infected with Omicron.” 33 percent adhere to the measures “by and large,” but accept that they will “sooner or later become infected with Omicron.” 13 percent have “had enough of the measures” and don’t want to limit themselves, saying they don’t care about infection.
