The main topic of today’s GECKO meeting was likely to have been the upcoming wave of the Omikron variant. Whether this will lead to further tightening is still unclear at this point in time.

“New scientific data will show us how things have to go in Austria”, said at least the Minister of Health Wolfgang Mückstein in a post on Twitter after the meeting. On Thursday he wants to meet with the governors, only then will the further procedure be communicated to the public.

Regardless of this, we already have some effective speed limits in Austria #Omikron moved in. With the existing lockdown for unvaccinated people, the limited number of participants at events and the curfew, we have implemented tough measures. (2/3)

Thanks to everyone who supports our protective measures on a daily basis & those who provide tests, corona vaccinations & FFP2 masks, for example. This is how we protect ourselves & others. So we focus on security, stay cautious & healthy.
And it shows: together we are stronger. (3/3)
