The country has already vaccinated more than 75% of its 1.4 billion people, most of whom are adults and the elderly.

A strict lockdown has been imposed on unvaccinated people since midnight in Austria. About two million unvaccinated Austrians can now leave their homes on their own for work, basic necessities and physical activity. The government announced tight controls with a fine of 500 euros for citizens and 3,600 euros for exhibitors. The restrictions do not include children under 12, pregnant women, and those who cannot get the vaccine. Pupils who participate in mass screening in schools are also exempted. Those who receive the first dose by December 6 and have a negative 48-hour PCR smear leave the lockdown. For the Vienna nightlife, just vaccination is no longer enough, but you also need a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. The government is divided over further measures to curb the fourth wave of coronavirus in Austria, which currently has 848 cases. The curfew for vaccinated people proposed by Health Minister Wolfgang Mikstein, at least for now, has also been rejected by Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg.

The ruling majority in France “does not want” to shut down the French who are not vaccinated with COVID-19, as is the case today in Austria, even if “all hypotheses are on the table”: said the leader of the La République en Marche group Christophe Castaner. “We do not wish that, and we must do everything to prevent the need to tighten the French protection tools,” Castaner told France 2 “Dozens of European countries – added the former interior minister – are very nervous about this issue, with an epidemic recovery, and France is not protected from a new wave.” On the hypothesis of the new forms of closure, Castaner stressed that “the goal and the way we followed were vaccination and booster”, and “620,000 appointments” were set for the third dose after the last speech of Emmanuel Macron on television. And he concluded, “All hypotheses are still on the table because we are facing a virus that surprises us and can surprise us.”
