Rudolf Anschober, Austria's Minister of Health together with Michael Ludwig, Johanna Mikl-Leitner and Hans Peter Doskozil, the Governors of Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland, respectively, announced further restrictions for the near future.

Vienna Mayor Michael Ludwig commented:

"As provincial governors, we are prepared to take responsibility, even in a difficult situation. With these measures, we have jointly put together a package for the eastern region that is profound and hopefully will also have a positive impact on the number of infections and the occupancy of hospital beds. If we don't see results in a very timely manner, we will have to take action beyond those that have been taken."
