"Austrian health experts have estimated that omicron infection does not have as pronounced an impact on hospital capacity as initially feared. The anti-pandemic commission also believes that the closure no longer makes sense, reports dnevnik.hr.

Austria will lift the lockdown for the unvaccinated from next Monday , it was announced on Wednesday.

This was decided by the federal authorities after an assessment by health experts, according to which the number of hospitalized is stable. Also, experts believe that omicron infection does not significantly affect hospital capacity, as initially expected, according to the Kronen Zeitung .

The easing of measures was announced on Wednesday by Chancellor Karl Nehammer and Health Minister Wolfgang Mueckstein , on a day when Austria is recording record numbers of those infected.

Authorities believe that measures against the unvaccinated should be relaxed, as they are among the strictest in Europe and the world. The Pandemic Anti-Pandemic Commission believes the closure no longer makes sense.

"Don't wait for vaccination to become mandatory , vaccinate yourself," the chancellor called on one and a half million unvaccinated Austrians, stressing that caution is still needed."
