Austria again reports a higher incidence than Germany.
With
104
new infections per 100,000 inhabitants, Austria had on average significantly more new cases in the past seven days than Germany, where the incidence is
90
.
While there is still discussion in Germany, Sebastian Kurz's government announced easing on Monday evening.
Accordingly, all shops will be allowed to reopen from February 8th.
Strict conditions apply: the number of customers is limited and there is an obligation to wear an FFP2 mask.
The permission to reopen also applies to museums and zoos or hairdressing salons.
Schools should also offer face-to-face classes again - the children should take corona tests regularly.
For newcomers, on the other hand, the regulations are becoming stricter: in future, all travelers, including commuters, will have to register and present a negative corona test once a week.
This also affects Germans who work in cities close to the border, such as Salzburg.
However, commuters are exempt from the ten-day quarantine that is mandatory after entry.

For all other immigrants, the previously possible “free testing” is no longer available after five days of quarantine.

According to the RKI management report from Monday evening, the nationwide seven-day R-value was
0.88
(previous day 0.91).
This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 88 more people.
The value represents the occurrence of the infection 8 to 16 days ago.
If it is below 1 for a long time, the infection process subsides.
