A specialist in constitutional and administrative law, Hans Mayer from Austria, told RT DE that the upcoming lockdown in the country is more legally developed than the previous regime of restrictions in force in the spring.

He also expressed confidence that the mandatory vaccination introduced from February 1 is in line with the basic Austrian law.

“All Austrian constitutional lawyers are unanimous in the opinion that compulsory universal vaccination is permissible when the situation calls for it.

This means if compulsory vaccination is an appropriate means of preventing serious threats to human health.

Based on the current situation and what virologists say about it, this is exactly the case, ”said Mayer.
