Kurz continues to open in Austria – a number of Corona rules are in place
Accordingly, the mask requirement * will drop completely in many areas from July 1st. Accordingly, there should no longer be masks for guests in the entire catering trade. In the evening it was still open whether the staff would still have to wear masks. In general, the mask requirement should fall where the so-called 3G rule applies. It says that certain relaxations take effect if you can prove proof of a test (tested), a survived corona infection (recovery) or a vaccination (vaccinated).
In retail, however, only the FFP2 obligation will initially fall from July 1. So you still have to wear mouth and nose protection in supermarkets and shops.
