Austria is placing millions of people not fully vaccinated against the coronavirus in lockdown as of Monday to deal with a surge in infections to record levels, Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg said on Sunday.
"The incidence within vaccinated people is declining, but it continues to rise exponentially for the people who are not vaccinated," Schallenberg told reporters.
"Currently, the incidence for unvaccinated people in the 18-59 age group is over 1,700, so today we have decided that from tomorrow there will be a lockdown for the unvaccinated in Austria," he added.
Europe has become the epicentre of the COVID-19 pandemic again, prompting some governments to consider re-imposing unpopular lockdowns.
Roughly six per cent of Austria's population is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, which is one of the lowest rates in western Europe.
Those aged 12 and under will be exempt from the lockdown, under which the unvaccinated can only leave their homes for a limited number of reasons like going to work or shopping for essentials.
Many officials, including within Schallenberg's conservative party and the police, have expressed doubts such a lockdown can be properly enforced since it applies to only part of the population. Schallenberg and Interior Minister Karl Nehammer said, however, that there will be thorough checks by the police.

There is a world-wide epidemic of stupid. Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin have a better “cure rate” than any of the unproven, big pharma clot-shots. Yet no country has expressed an interest in deploying these drugs that have been given to people all over the world for DECADES with essentially zero risk.
“Roughly six per cent of Austria’s population is fully vaccinated”
There’s a typo in the original report - it’s 65%.
That said, this lockdown is window-dressing as the exclusions (going to work and going shopping) give anyone a reasonable excuse to ignore the curfew.
Why bother? Just testing how to control the population and how weak it has become. A template for certain other EU states perhaps.
Impung Macht Frei
A determined Austrian is never a good thing.
I believe that’s Impfung, but great comment!
It’s Austria’s “Kampf” don’t you know?
If anyone asked for my papers, I’d show them my Bill of Rights.
The birth place of Adolf Hitler at it again.
Hitler, Stalin, Mao, etc. rolling over in their graves saying “now why didn’t I think of that”.
I blame Autocowrecked. I thought I finally got it to take. I knew how to spell it, I promise.
Love your tagline by the way. The resumes of Leftist leaders in general are a joke.
Gee, that seems a tad excessive..... why don’t they just force them to wear yellow stars or something?
It’s in place for ten days...
Another magical CoupFlu number. Wonder why ten days?!
Get a load of this...
...they’re talking about locking up the vaccinated, too.
