In Austria the lockdown ends on Monday, but only for vaccinated and recovered, while it will continue for the no vax.
Chancellor Karl Nehammes announced this. On 13 December, therefore, shops, restaurants, hotels and Christmas markets reopen for the immunized.
"Anyone who goes vaccinated leaves the lockdown", Nehammer points out, "with the generalized lockdown, an incentive for vaccination has disappeared".
The chancellor did not rule out diversifications in the laender most affected by the pandemic. Vienna, for example, will only reopen restaurants and hotels on 20 December.
The government initially announced a lockdown for unvaccinated only, then, given the alarming numbers especially in some regions, it generalized it. But on Monday, differentiated restrictions between vaccinated and unvaccinated will return, and from 1 February 2022 the obligation is triggered.
