The Corona Ordinance for Vienna, which will apply from March 5, 2022, has been published. Vienna is subject to stricter Corona measures than the rest of Austria; the rules are in detail.
The Vienna Covid 19 essential ordinance guarantees a more cautious opening in some areas. This affects, for example, the catering industry and the indoor regions in general, where masks are still frequently required in Vienna. The ordinance is valid until March 31.
Vienna retains the 2G rule in restaurants even after March 5
Unlike in the other federal states, the 2G rule will continue to apply for customers visiting a restaurant in Vienna. This means that either an upright certificate of recovery or an upright vaccination certificate must be presented. However, the FFP2 mask requirement no longer applies to staff and patrons.
Current curfew regulations are also eliminated under federal law. Night catering can resume operations in Vienna as well. However, 2G is also required there. Hotel guests do not have to provide proof of G – apart from the gastro areas in the establishments.
FFP2 mask requirement for indoor events in Vienna.
The federal government’s rules for outdoor events are adopted. For indoor events, however, FFP2 masks remain mandatory in Vienna. 2G is no longer required. For indoor events, a reverse measure applies: the 2G rule continues to use, but no mask needs to be worn.
FFP2 mask obligation in trade for customers remains in Vienna
The FFP2 mask obligation applies to personnel with direct customer contact in the vital trade. In the rest of the work, FFP2 masks remain mandatory for customers. However, employees can dispense with this protective measure there. This also applies to services close to the body: Customers need an FFP2 mask, staff does not. As in all public transport in Austria, masks must continue to be worn there in Vienna.
Visiting hospitals in Vienna possible with 2.5G
For visitors in hospitals, 2.5G will apply in the future. This means that even a negative PCR result not older than 48 hours may be used. The quantitative restriction on visits no longer applies, but visitors must wear an FFP2 mask at all times. The 2.5G and mask requirement also apply to staff – including permanent PCR screening.
Even in kindergartens, at least parents or external guests must wear masks. In places where a G-rule is a prerequisite for access, such as bars and restaurants, the 3G rule applies to children between six and eleven. In this age group, a rapid antigen test taken by an authorized body is also permitted for this purpose, which must not be older than 24 hours.
A fully completed Ninja Pass is automatically valid until the end of the respective calendar week – at least until twelve. Up to the end of compulsory schooling, adolescents can also refer to a test for areas with G-rule. For them, however, only PCR tests are allowed.
No more 3G rule in the workplace
There is no longer any difference in the workplace. The federal government has abolished the 3G rule there. This also applies to Vienna.
