Holiday chaos threatens – the quarantine obligation is becoming more concrete

Date:

With the removal of the mask requirement on board, the absenteeism of the AUA increases: flight chaos! The “Krone” asked about the corona disruptions in the country. Meanwhile, the plan for the quarantine is becoming more concrete.

During the local inspection “Krone” at Vienna airport, the situation slowly eased on day three of the AUA chaos. On Monday, 19 flights had to be cancelled, especially connections within Europe were affected. There were only a few delays. There was little to be seen of angry and stranded passengers in the departure hall.

The Lost & Found counter, however, showed a different picture. “My sister’s suitcase, who was on her honeymoon in Mexico, has been missing for seven days,” complains a Viennese woman. And she’s not alone. Hundreds of suitcases and bags were piled up in the warehouse.

Nevertheless, the airport staff on the ground managed the corona chaos in the sky remarkably brilliantly. “We cannot prevent flights from being cancelled, but otherwise we have everything under control. There are at most waiting times at the security counters,” said Wien-Schwechat board member Julian Jäger.

Everything is still on schedule and – no “Covid derailments” were said on the Austrian railways on Monday! “Our trains are all running according to schedule. There are no disruptions in the actual connections due to Covid. Until now, absences due to illness can be accommodated,” assures ÖBB General Andreas Matthä. Yet he speaks of a “challenging situation”. ÖBB employees have therefore been offered PCR tests since Monday.

Will the quarantine rules come to an end soon?
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health in the former Imperial and Royal army building is working out secret plans for the definitive end of the quarantine rules. Because if the corona numbers increase, illness can make the economy tight. This is also supported by the fact that more and more infected people (especially with a second illness) no longer receive a divorce certificate from the authorities.

In the future, a so-called traffic restriction – so no quarantine at home, but with a mask to work and shopping – would suffice. When the end of mandatory vaccination was announced, things suddenly moved very quickly.
