“At the moment there is absolutely no basis for assuming that we are confronted with a slight variant that we can take lightly,” said Hacker in the Radio Vienna interview. On the contrary, the World Health Organization (WHO) only recommended this week to tighten the coronavirus measures once more.
Hacker sees wrong approach
Next week there will be a meeting of the federal and state governments, Hacker demands “that this strange project is canceled once more by then”. He once more locates a wrong approach in the Ministry of Health. “This is now the third year in a row and it’s regarding time they learn how to behave in the summer at the Department of Health so we don’t have to talk regarding lockdowns once more in the autumn.”
Hacker is also sour that Vienna was not officially informed regarding the draft – in contrast to the ÖVP-led federal states. “It’s so unprofessional that I’m sick of it,” said the City Councilor for Health. In any case, he does not want to support the plans that have now become public. “I’m not ready to do experiments in the federal capital.”
“Absurd” team solution for infected
“Absurd” for hackers is the plan to create their own work teams with infected people. “You can really only bring the idea to the world in a ministry. This has nothing to do with the real life of working people, because what is the logical consequence? Will we then get a billa where only infected people are allowed in and a pharmacy where only uninfected people are allowed in. “
According to the Ministry of Health, it is not yet clear whether the quarantine will end. When asked by APA, it was said that it was a working draft. Health Minister Johannes Rauch (Greens) himself wrote on the short message service Twitter: “The crux of the matter is ‘unveiled’ in advance: nothing is fixed yet. We are working out several options. Yes, since July 1st there has been an authorization to issue ordinances, d. Replacing isolation with traffic restrictions when necessary is a well-known fact. We have also drawn up a draft regulation for this purpose.”
