Pupils in Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland will start the new school year next Monday. It is quite surprising that the same corona rules apply to all teachers in compulsory school. Because Lower Austria will also “not make use” of the regulation drawn up by the Ministry of Education that corona-positive but symptom-free educators can also teach with FFP2 masks, as a spokesman for the Education Councilor Christiane Teschl-Hofmeister (ÖVP) on Monday evening in told the STANDARD in a brief statement. This means that there are no corona-positive compulsory school teachers in the classes in Lower Austria, Vienna and Burgenland.
