For the first time since the start of the restructuring of parliament, the Council of Ministers was held in the House of Representatives on Wednesday. In the press foyer that followed, an important topic was presented – namely the end of the pandemic.
Formally, this should be the case on June 30, 2023, it was said on Wednesday. A corona infection is then treated as a normal illness. Vaccinations, tests and medication must be integrated into the regular structures of the Austrian health system by then, as the Council of Ministers decided on Wednesday.
The end of the mask obligation in hospitals, retirement homes and nursing homes is scheduled for the end of April. The high level of immunity of the population and the availability of COVID-19 medicines make this step possible, emphasized Health Minister Johannes Rauch and Constitutional Affairs Minister Karoline Edtstadler in the press foyer after the Council of Ministers.
