Sixth and last week under third Lock-Down in Austria (8. Feb. 2021)

The 3rd Lock-Down is more or less over. Restaurants and Bars are still closed. Kids are allowed to go to school but are separated in shifts. Also mandatory self-tests are required to attend a class. If for what reason parents don’t wont to get their kids tested they have to attend via Home-Schooling. Retail shops will open as well but require 20 m² per customer. FPP2 mask are now also mandatory in shops and public transport. If you wan’t to get your hairs cut, you have to have a negative Covid-19 not older than 48 hours.

However, there is great concern about the end of the lock-down. The South-African Covid-19 mutation is now established (mainly in Tirol). The British mutation is becoming mainstream. The self-service tests at School seam to be not very effective.

Covid-19 map shows reduced risk at Vienna

Since a very long time the traffic-light encoded map doesn’t only show everything at high-risk red but Vienna is now displayed as still very-risky orange. However, there is still not distinguishing between districts within a state.

Stop-Corona App

The Stopp-Corona App by the Austria Red Cross is now compatible with 11 other EU countries. Users can now use the App to warn people from other EU countries using their foreign App. The app has been developed during the first Lock-Down in spring 2020 but isn’t so popular in Austria.

COVID-19 in Computer Games

Corona can also be found in actual PC Games like Euro Truck Simulator and American Truck Simulator. SCS has set up a 0-damage vaccine delivery challenge in both games. The goal is to deliver 7 times the Covid-19 vaccines without any damage to the cargo.
