I thought that was Oberösterreich only
Nope. Until friday, yes. Incidences are going through the roof atm.
Saturday the minister of health announced the LD, today it was fixed in parliament, effective 53 minutes after publishing it to the national "legal information system".
Government is wetting their pants right now. They did nothing all summer, called out the "end of the pandemic", followed by the "end of the pandemic for the vaccinated".
40% of all covid patients in hospital are fully vaxxed, rumors say the number rose to 50% this week, while about 20% are currently fully vaxxed in ICU.
They did a lot of testing before, then they stopped testing of fully vaccinated people. Also, vaccinated folks that got close to an infected person were no more needed to self-quarantine and testing. So the infection counts exploded, they said PCR testing is mandatory for going to work, also in effect tomorrow, and the labs already refused to take newly submitted tests on saturday, because they don't have the capacity to process them. Next they want mandatory vaccination for people working in geriatric and medical field, while the hospitals are expecting up to 20% of their staff to quit.
Thie is getting way beyond popcorn level.
Interesting times.
I will continue reporting in the covid observer thread after today.
