何百万人ものワクチン未接種の人々を封鎖する寸前のオーストリア, as chancellor slams 'shameful' shot uptake

オーストリアは、ワクチン未接種の何百万人もの人々に家にいるように命じるのに数日かかります, その首相は木曜日に言った, in a rare move that underscores the increasing exasperation of European leaders towards those who have not yet been inoculated against Covid-19.

Alexander Schallenberg told reporters the country’s vaccination rate was “shamefully low,” and hinted that the measure would be triggered within days. “In other states that rate is a lot higher — it is shameful as we have enough vaccines available,” Schallenberg added.

Under the country’s plan, which was agreed in September, unvaccinated Austrians will face a stay-at-home order once 30% of intensive-care beds are occupied by Covid-19 patients. The current rate is 21%, according to the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES), and a surge in infections has pushed it up quickly.

Unvaccinated people are already excluded from entertainment venues, レストラン, hairdressers and other parts of public life in Austria. If the new measures come into place, the unvaccinated will be ordered to stay home except for a few limited reasons; the rules will be policed by officers carrying out spot checks on those who are out.

周り 65% of Austria’s population is fully vaccinated against Covid-19, one of the lower rates in the European Union.

”It is clear that this winter will be uncomfortable for the unvaccinated,” Schallenberg warned, それを追加する ”the lockdown could come much faster than some might think.”

“A lockdown for the unvaccinated means one cannot leave one’s home unless one is going to work, shopping for essentials, stretching one’s legs — namely exactly what we all had to suffer through in 2020,” Schallenberg said.

After Schallenberg’s announcement, the governor of the province of Upper Austria, in the northwest of the country, said he planned to introduce a lockdown for the unvaccinated on Monday.

Upper Austria, in the northwest of the country, could become the first province to go ahead with the move, the province’s Governor Thomas Stelzer announced Thursday in a statement. The region is the country’s worst-affected area, with Stelzer calling the situation in his province “dramatic.”

Their regional lockdown will need approval from Austria’s federal government and is set to go ahead “provided there is a legal green light from the federal government and/or it creates the legal basis for it,” Stelzer added in his statement.

Schallenberg’s tone encapsulated the frustration that several European governments have expressed towards unvaccinated pockets of society, as a wave of Covid-19 infections sweeps the region.
