Austria set to impose full national covid lockdown

Austria decided to reorganize full lockdown this winter, a decision taken by chancellor Alexander Schellenberg. Lockdown might be legitimated starting from this Monday. Previously, Austria decided to impose lockdown only on the unvaccinated ones. But, they have decided to go for a full lockdown due to the huge number of unvaccinated cases and covid affected cases. Also, in western Europe, most people are not taking vaccines.

Austria triggered by record covid cases due to unvaccinated people. Many other European countries are not at all conscious about taking vaccination and maintaining the covid rules. This situation has occurred due to some people not being aware of vaccines for some fake news and political reasons.

In the last week, out of 1,00,000 people, there are 990.7 covid cases. In a total population of 9 million people, there are 15809 active cases within the last 24 hours.

However, in this situation, some people of Austria are doing work from home. Some non-essential shops got the order to remain closed. Some schools remain open for those who want to learn face-to-face.

The neighboring country Germany recently faced a huge number of covid infections. In order to control the situation, German leaders decided to take possible restrictions of the covid. They took different techniques for the unvaccinated people. Unvaccinated people cannot go anywhere, not in a mode of public transport, clubs, mall, cinema halls.

On the other hand, the Netherlands decided a full lockdown for the unvaccinated people. The people cannot go anywhere. Also, Hungary reported that out of 10 million populations, 11289 new cases surged within the last week. Hence, the country decided to start a third booster vaccination for the health workers.

Belgium started providing work from home to the employees for 4 days within a week. In Russia, a record number of covid deaths of 1254 has been measured within the last 24 hours.
