Update for the next "Lockdown" Phase with Monday (funny,they say with Monday,but on the "Rule Board" with the new "Restrictions it says December 7th....I think THAT says all about our "Corona Situation" in Austria....)
This Restrictions will be expected until Januar 7 2021
- Shops are open now (Masks mandatory of course..)
- still "Curfew" from 20:00h to 6:00h (8 pm to 6 am)
For this here it is again a little "Kabarett":
There are Exceptions for the Christmas Holidays and New Year's Eve.
A total of 10 People (including Children) are allowed to meet on December 24th, 25th, 26th and 31st, regardless of how many households they live in.
The Night Curfew does not apply in these cases,so you can continue partying after 8 p.m.
Birthday parties and anniversary celebrations are prohibited.
Logical to the highest degree - Corona also makes Christmas Holiday.....
- Gastronomy is closed - allowed is Food Pickup from 6 am to 7 pm
- Food Delivery Service around the Clock
- absolute forbidden is "Punschausschank" to People (Christmas Punch) - this will be controlled very strong !!
- Schools and Kindergardens are now at "Full Capacity" again.Children ages 10 Years - Mask Mandatory during Learning.
- Upper Schools and Universities continue to be operated by distance learning.
- The only Exception: Matura classes are allowed to return to Schools.
For the Kindergarten a little Side Note:
My Wife told me yesterday,they where "recommended" to go to the Mass Tests.
For this,you have to go to a Website (last Night for Hours offline by the Way..too much Traffic...)
and "register" yourself.Then she have to Drive to the next "Testtown" (for her 45 km - drive there and back again makes 90 km).
And it is "unclear" but very likely she has to do this in her FREE TIME....but not 100% confirmed...
In her Kindergarten are 6 Groups each with 1 Pedagogue and 1 Helper.
1 Cleaning Helper and 1 "Special" Pedagogue.
Actual are 2 People "missing" - because of Sickness.
Nope,no Corona.
If only ONE Test is positive,then the Supergau (translated with "Meltdown" ??) is expected to occur...
Happy Christmas Time for all little Kids.....
...oh and I forget:
Quarantine after entry.
As of December 19, a quarantine obligation applies to those entering Austria.
It is planned to classify the risk areas on the basis of the 14-day incidence of positive coronavirus cases.
All countries with a value higher than 100 are classified as risk areas - currently all neighboring countries of Austria are included.
People entering from a risk area must go into quarantine for ten days.
Free testing is possible after five days using a PCR test.
There should be exceptions for business travelers and commuters, for example.
The regulation will apply until January 10th, the main goal here is the Orthodox Christmas festival on January 7th.
And Austrians is forbidden to leave the Country,by the Way....
