Different levels of alert are expected based on the number of intensive therapies, and a crescendo of restrictions for No Vax
“We are about to run into an unvaccinated pandemic. Most ICU patients are not vaccinated against Covid-19: it must be clear to these people that they have a great responsibility. We have too many procrastinators and hesitants, too many who have not been able to get vaccinated, vaccinate yourselves ». The words of the Austrian Chancellor, Alexander Schallenberg, are not just an appeal to the population but a warning. According to scientists, the increase in cases in the country, still under control, could accelerate and the government has already studied the new restrictions to be put in place. Measures that will affect the unvaccinated.

The plan provides for different levels of alert depending on the number of hospitalizations in intensive care, which today are about 220 and still fall within level 1. The maximum level, the fifth, will trigger at 600 hospitalizations, i.e. 30% of the places available in the hospitals. The government plan will come into force on November 1st: if the situation has not worsened to go to work, the “3G” rule will be implemented, a sort of Austrian Green Pass that will be valid for ‘Geimpft’ (vaccinated), ‘Genesen ‘(six months healed) or Getestet (swab, molecular or rapid).
If hospitalizations were to increase and reach 400 patients in intensive care, level 3 will start, and the “2.5G” rule: the Green Pass will always be valid for vaccinated and recovered patients, but quick swabs will no longer be valid. Molecular only.
Starting from level 4, which provides for 500 patients in resuscitation, the heaviest restrictions will apply, always against those who have not yet been vaccinated. To access the workplace, restaurants, hotels, to participate in events of all kinds and undergo medical examinations, the “2G” rule must be respected: no valid tampon, green light only for the vaccinated and the recovered.
In fact, a “targeted” lockdown.
