Austria follows through on unvaccinated lockdown threat | TheHill

By Thomas A. Smith

Austria will put a lockdown in place for the unvaccinated in two regions where COVID-19 cases are surging starting on Monday, Austrian Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg stated during a press conference Friday.

Unvaccinated people in the Austrian regions of Upper Austria and in Salzburg will only be permitted to leave home for specific reasons, such as grocery shopping or doctor’s appointments, per ABC News.

Schallenberg said he and other leaders in Austria will reconvene Sunday to finalize the measures and their implementation next week, according to ABC News.

“The aim is very clear: that we give the green light this Sunday for a nationwide lockdown for the unvaccinated,” Schallenberg said, according to a Reuters report.
