Austria to impose a 10-day quarantine on the unvaccinated

Austria, one of the small countries of Europe, has made a decision that is the first in the world due to the increasing coronavirus cases. According to this decision, people who have not been vaccinated across the country will be subject to a curfew for the next 10 days. The event, which drew a reaction across the country, seems to disturb the anti-vaccine opponents.

Statements on the subject were made by Austrian Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg. Stating that this decision is a necessity, Schallenberg said, “Our duty as the government is to protect people. Therefore, we have decided to close for the unvaccinated as of Monday.” With the decision, around 2 million Austrians are confined to their homes as of now.

The decision taken is a first in the world.

The decision, which is the first in the world, will be kept under control with drastic measures. Unvaccinated Austrians who violate the curfew will face fines of 450 euros if caught. Health Minister Wolfgang Mückstein states that this mandatory decision was taken to direct people to the vaccine. According to the minister, the contact rate of the unvaccinated will be reduced by 30 percent with the decision.

In the meantime, let us remind you that 65 percent of Austria, which has a population of around 10 million, is fully vaccinated. According to the data announced on November 14, the number of daily cases in the country is 11 thousand 552. Health professionals think that this decision is not enough. According to experts, the decision to go out on the street should also cover the vaccinated. Europe’s coronavirus agenda looks like there may be greater restrictions in the coming days. . .
