A few days after reconfining the unvaccinated, Austria imposed re-containment for the entire population, as well as a soon-to-be compulsory vaccination.
This is a strong measure that was taken by Austrian Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg on Friday, November 19: faced with the increase in Covid-19 cases in the country, Austria will make vaccination compulsory from February 2022. Containment three-week period, which will begin on Monday, November 22, has also been imposed on the entire population. Strong decisions, a few days after the confinement imposed on unvaccinated people.
The restrictive measures were anticipated by part of the population in the country’s capital, Vienna. “We were vaccinated twice, soon the third dose, and now we have to stay at home because of stupid people who are not going to be vaccinated”, testifies a passerby. A decision “logic” according to another passerby, while the country’s vaccination rate is below the average in the European Union and Austria has nearly 15,000 cases daily, saturating hospitals.
