VIENNA (Reuters) – Austrian shops and primary schools will reopen on Monday when the country’s current lockdown eases, and skiing will be allowed as of Dec. 24, Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said on Wednesday.
His government said in a statement that until Jan. 10 anyone arriving from a country with more than 100 cases per 100,000 people in the past two weeks will have to go into quarantine. That covers nations including Italy and Germany and makes short ski holidays for people from those countries almost impossible.
