The winter sports season in Austria can continue, but without après-ski. Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz announced this on Thursday during a press conference.
The number of positive corona tests has been steadily increasing in Austria in recent weeks. That is why Kurz wants to make the winter sports season as safe as possible. “Ski fun yes, but without après-ski”, said the chancellor.
In addition, it is mandatory to keep your distance in ski gondolas and to wear a mouth mask. In cafes and restaurants it is only allowed to eat and drink at the table. In addition, cafes and restaurants in some regions have to close as early as 10 pm.
Many tourists contracted the corona virus at parties in Tyrol last season. Critics blame the authorities for being too slow. Hundreds of Dutch people have registered with a consumer organization that wants to claim compensation on behalf of victims.
