Advantages for the vaccinated, as is the case in Austria. In South Tyrol, the Autonomous Province of Bolzano has asked to adopt the Austrian 2G rule for the unvaccinated. The proposal was made by President Arno Kompatscher at a recent press conference. “We asked Rome to allow benefits for the vaccinated, as is already the case in some European countries, for example Austria which has introduced the” 2G rule “- he said -. This is because the progress of the pandemic in South Tyrol is not satisfactory ».
The risk of a return to the yellow zone
The Autonomous Province is lagging behind in Italy when it comes to vaccines. If we look at hospitalizations (13.6% in ordinary wards and 6.3% in intensive care) and infections (316 new cases per 100 thousand inhabitants), the risk is that of a return to the yellow zone. A possible turn of the screw, however, must start from Rome. “The competence belongs to the state and we need a state law,” Kompatscher stressed.
Austria announces lockdown for the unvaccinated
In Austria, perhaps as early as Monday 15 November, the hard lockdown will start for the unvaccinated. Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg announced this. The formal go-ahead is expected on Sunday, but it is not clear whether the lockdown will actually take effect on Monday, as in Salzburg and Upper Austria. The unvaccinated will be able to leave the house only for work, for basic necessities and for “taking a walk, as explained by Schallenberg. There will be random checks. “We don’t live in a police state, we can’t and want to check every street corner,” he commented. There will also be an obligation to vaccinate health professionals.
What is the 2G rule
The rule that Austria intends to apply for people over 12 is the so-called “2G rule”. The model stands for “geimpft oder genesen” (vaccinated or cured), a solution that essentially excludes the non-immunized from social life. In fact, only the vaccinated (geimpft) or cured within six months (genesen) can access different areas of daily life. At work one can still access with the negativity of the antigenic or molecular buffer.
Stretta sui no vax
It is forbidden for “no-vax” to enter and consume in restaurants, bars, typical “Konditorei” (pastry shops), stay in all types of accommodation facilities or enter places where personal care services are provided ( hairdresser, beauticians, barbers and massage centers). The same rule also applies to cultural and sporting events with 25 or more people, as well as on the ski lifts.
