Austria is placing about 2 million unvaccinated people in lockdown from Monday amid record infection levels and growing pressure on hospitals.

"We are not taking this step lightly but it is necessary," Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg said.

Unvaccinated people will only be able to leave home for a limited number of reasons, like working or buying food.

About 65% of Austria's population is fully vaccinated, one of the lowest rates in western Europe.

Meanwhile the seven-day infection rate is more than 800 cases per 100,000 people, one of the highest in Europe.

Overall, Europe has again become the region most seriously-affected by the pandemic and several countries are introducing restrictions and warning of rising cases.

The unvaccinated were already barred from visiting restaurants, hairdressers and cinemas but will now be told to stay at home.

"In reality we have told one third of the population: you will not leave your apartment anymore apart from for certain reasons," Mr Schallenberg said.

"That is a massive reduction in contacts between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated."

The government says police will carry out spot checks in public spaces to determine their vaccination status.

The new measures - which do not apply to children under 12 or those who have recently recovered from Covid - will initially last for 10 days, Health Minister Wolfgang Mückstein said.

Some critics have questioned whether the move is constitutional. The far-right Freedom Party has said it will create a group of second-class citizens.

I think this is going way too far
Let’s see who backs down first.

They've been there since last year during the height of it all, I don't remember exactly where they came from, it was a while ago now, but I'm sure it was from somewhere official, maybe the WHO or CDC. Research around and you might find it. They're probably better odds now.

Presumably the odds refer to not getting seriously poorly rather than not getting it at all

That says 99.8% not 98% but I’m not sure where the figure comes from… ass official Covid stats put the risk at around 2-3% and “best guess” of the true figure (including low symptomatic and mild untested cases) has always been predicted at around 0.8% (I.e. 99.2% safe).

I suppose because of fewer deaths amongst the vaccinated that could now be down as low as 0.2% risk?

Of course that would still make the image wrong because UNVACCINATED people would still have the 0.8% risk.

It’s also entirely dependant on age and health.

Risk for a healthy 20 year old is waaaay lower than 0.2%. Risk for a 70 year old with health issues is easily 10%+ vaccinated or not. So really the stats can’t be applied generally… an individual’s “percentage risk” is going to be unique.

Surely charging for PCRs will stop loads of people from getting tested ??

These lateral flow are practically useless ..

We had a student who had four negative lateral flow results but tested positive when he went for a PCR.

Yes Free Testing is Needed.


We need to find out when it stops being Free.

Are you sure you got that right, because people wont bother testing if they have to pay for it

it might be the free lateral flow tests they are scrapping?
