In the course of Monday, the Ministry of Health will issue a new Corona regulation. It brings numerous relaxations from July 1. In its online platform, derstandard.at summarized in detail what will apply from Thursday.
Question: In what particular places should I still use the FFP2 mask?
Answer: A mask obligation will give it, so at least that was announced, only in public, business and museums, thus everywhere, where no three-G-proof must be furnished. As far as is known so far, however, a mouth-nose protection will be sufficient in these places, an FFP2 mask is not to be prescribed – but can still be worn. Masks will also continue to be mandatory in nursing homes and hospitals. Contrary to the announcement of the government, however, according to first information the normal mouth-nose-protection should be sufficient also in these areas.
Question: What will change with the three-G rule?
Answer: It will apply from Thursday in the following places: Gastronomy, hotels and lodging, recreational facilities (for example, dance schools, zoos), cultural establishments (with the exception of museums, libraries, libraries and archives), sports venues, gatherings of more than 100 people and trade fairs.
As far as is known, the current framework remains in place: A PCR test will be valid for 72 hours, an antigen test, such as from a test lane or pharmacy, for 48 hours, and a self-test for 24 hours. Point-of-sale testing is also to continue. Vaccination would continue to be considered proof from day 22, and convalescents would be exempt from testing for six months. Even though the green passport does not recognize a certificate of segregation as proof of recovery, it is to continue to apply in Austria. An antibody test is valid for three months and is also not recognized in the green passport.
As of Thursday, the obligation to present proof will only apply to people over the age of twelve; currently, it still applies to children over the age of ten.
Question: How is it in clubs?
Answer: After months of enforced closure, clubs will be open again without a curfew. According to government announcements, drinking at the bar and dancing will also be permitted. A 75 percent occupancy limit is to apply in the entire catering trade from Thursday. However, only those who have been tested, recovered and vaccinated will be allowed in. The city of Vienna, however, is thinking about tightening this regulation. Health city councillor Peter Hacker (SPÖ) originally wanted to open the clubs only for vaccinated persons, after interventions of the medical association it was decided that also convalescents should be allowed in clubs. However, this tightening is not yet fixed. The city recently had the legal options examined to establish stricter rules in this area. An official decision is expected this week.
Hans-Peter Hutter, a public health expert at the University of Vienna, thinks only one G of the three-G rule makes sense in clubs – namely tested ones. The means of choice, in his view, is the detection of a PCR test. In the case of vaccinated persons, there remains a residual risk that the virus can be further spread after infection, despite a significantly lower viral load.
Question: Will there still be upper limits for events?
Answer: As of Thursday, events in the fields of art, culture and sports with seating or standing room, including catering, can once again take place at full capacity. For events with 100 or more people, there will be a notification requirement, and for events with 500 or more people, there will be a permit requirement. For the private sector, all contact and distance rules are to be dropped.
Question: What will change for the trade?
Answer: In the trade, the square meter restrictions will become obsolete. In addition, FFP2 masks no longer have to be worn; mouth/nose protection is sufficient.
Question: And what can be expected from July 22?
Answer: There will be further relaxation if the Corona case numbers continue to be low. It is planned, for example, that the registration obligation in the catering trade and at events will end. In addition, the mouth-nose protection could be further reduced. Should this really be abolished from July 22 in retail outlets and on public transport, the SPÖ pensioners’ association, for example, is calling for the same to happen in care and senior citizens’ facilities.
