Covid Austria, ‘lockdown’ for no vax: third dose of vaccine for green pass

Austria launches lockdown for no vax. From Monday 8 November only vaccinated people or subjects recovered from covid will be able to access restaurants, hotels, cultural and sporting events. To reach the workplace, however, the third option linked to a negative buffer is still envisaged. The Ffp2 mask will be mandatory in all shops, museums and libraries. The green pass will be valid 9 months after the second vaccination: upon expiry of the green certificate, the third dose of vaccine will be needed to keep the document valid. The Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine guarantees the green pass only until January 3, 2022. Read also The measures are launched after the new increase in infections. In 24 hours, 9,388 positive cases were recorded, just below the record of 9,586 infections reached a year ago. The situation in hospitals would remain relatively stable.
