Austrian chancellor threatens second lockdown
Austrian Chancellor, Sebastian Kurz, on Monday threatened to impose a second lockdown if the current spike in coronavirus cases continues.
“The situation in hospitals will determine whether a new lockdown is imposed.
“No country in the world would allow its intensive medical care to become overwhelmed,’’ Kurz said.
In Austria, the possible overloading of the health system is a legal requirement for imposing a lockdown.
On Sunday, Austria introduced a limit of six people for private gatherings indoors and 12 people outdoors.
Austria has seen record daily infection numbers in recent days.
