Austria needs to abolish all Covid-19 restrictions in the midst of the yr, Health Minister Johannes Rauch stated in media feedback printed on Saturday.
Covid-19 would then now not be a notifiable illness and the nation would return to regular, he informed the Kronen Zeitung newspaper.
According to the minister, the huge Covid-19 wave in China now not poses a significant threat. “We have taken the necessary precautions. I don’t see any signs of a major threat at the moment.”
