Fourth nationwide lockout in Austria fixed. Apply as the number of Govt infections increases drastically and hospitals reach their capacity. 22. November 2021 Exit restrictions for all people in Austria again. The way it works is also one of the exceptional reasons.
As with previous locks, there is only one home office recommendation in Austria, not an obligation. Health Minister Wolfgang Mückstein on Friday urged you to switch to the home office “where possible”. The following rules apply to workplaces in Austria until further notice:
3G in the workplace
In the workplace, all three “Gs” are still applicable: a test that should be vaccinated, recovered, or last no longer than 48 hours. This means that officially approved antigen testing (pharmacy, test street) is still possible in the workplace. “We always speak in favor of austerity, but testing capabilities should be expanded in all federal states,” Kochhar said.
PCR tests are only required in private areas: dinner, discos, aprus-ski, nursing homes, nursing homes and residential facilities for the disabled, hospitals, mobile care and support.
The only exceptions are those with little or no contact with other people – for example foresters, truck drivers sitting alone in their cabin or everyone working in the home office.
FFP2-mask
From November 22, in addition to 3G, all enclosed rooms will require an FFP2 mask – including the workspace that is not structurally segregated or communicative with others.
Home Office
There will be no compulsion to work from home. “It’s the same control we had before,” Chancellor Schallenberg said Friday. For example, Austria is on a different path than Germany. Although it was planned to withdraw the home office requirement in our neighboring country – which expired at the end of June – no such control had ever been made since the outbreak of the epidemic in Austria.
In addition, community partners also spoke out against the obligation to work from home. Nevertheless, according to Kochhar, community partners promised to “do a lot to make use of home offices.” “We know that working from home is only possible for about 40 percent of employees,” the labor minister said.
