Faced with the progression of the pandemic, Austria becomes the first country in Europe to impose vaccination and reconfine his population. The journalist Laurent Desbonnets is live from Vienna, Friday, November 19, to take stock of the situation.
Faced with the fifth wave of Covid-19, Austria decided on Friday November 19 to take strong measures “The Austrian Chancellor has said it, he is losing patience. According to him, the anti-vaccines “commit an attack on the health system of the country”. Vaccination is therefore compulsory from February 1. Those who will not be vaccinated face heavy fines“, says journalist Laurent Desbonnets, live from Vienna (Austria).
In the meantime, general confinement for all has been put in place. “It is forbidden to leave your home except to go to work, to go for essential shopping or to do a little shopping. Restaurants will close and school will no longer be compulsory, adds the reporter. It remains to be seen how these measures are received by the population who did not expect such severe restrictions. An anti-restriction demonstration is also scheduled for Saturday, November 20 at the call of the large far-right party.“
