Austria To Ease COVID-19 Restrictions Next Month

Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer announced Saturday that restaurants will have a curfew of midnight rather than 10 p.m. beginning Feb. 5, and proof of vaccination or recovery from COVID-19 will not be required to enter shops beginning Feb. 12.

Restaurant entry requirements will be updated Feb. 19 to allow those with proof of recovery from COVID-19 or a negative test to join those with proof of vaccination.

Lockdown restrictions that have been in place for unvaccinated individuals since Nov. 15 will end Monday. These restrictions limit those who are not fully vaccinated from leaving their homes for reasons that are deemed nonessential.
