“The pandemic is over.” With this statement, the renowned German virologist Christian Drosten recently led to discussions in many places. Also in Austria, and especially in Vienna, the city that was best known for only doing it when it came to the pandemic in terms of corona regulations. In particular, the obligation to wear a face mask in public transport regularly caused discussion. Is Vienna the only capital in the EU still following this route? The “Krone” has the answer.

Ludwig sticks to his decision – at least until the end of winter.
