The Austrian government has announced it will be extending the general lockdown for all unvaccinated residents as the Omicron variant of the Wuhan virus spreads across the country.
On Thursday, Austria’s National Council decided to extend the lockdown for the unvaccinated until at least January 10th. Health Minister Wolfgang Mückstein claimed that the government is concerned the spread of the Omicron variant could potentially overwhelm the country’s healthcare system.
Mückstein also claimed that he regretted that the government could not announce any relaxation of existing measures, insisting that the spread of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus made an extension of the lockdown rules unavoidable, Kronen Zeitung reports.
