The FFP2 mask requirement indoors is largely falling. As of today, Holy Saturday, the FFP2 mask requirement only applies “in areas that everyone must visit,” announced the Minister of Health John Rauch (Greens) on Thursday. These include, for example, supermarkets, pharmacies, public transport, hospitals and nursing homes. The 3G rule also only applies in hospitals and nursing homes. The regulation is valid until July 8th.
Green passport is extended
There is also a change in the green pass. For example, the period of validity for those who have been vaccinated three times has been extended from nine to twelve months. The Green Passport is valid for six months for those who have been vaccinated twice and those who have recovered. There is currently no general recommendation for a fourth vaccination.
