The two new corona clusters in Carinthia are keeping the authorities on their toes. In order to prevent the virus from spreading in Velden and a tourist destination in Upper Carinthia, additional measures are to be discussed on Monday. Meanwhile, the test center in Velden was stormed by 1,000 people.
The tourism industry is shocked that two interns in the holiday resort of Velden tested positive for Corona at the start of the season. And the incident raises the suspicion that not all restaurants are carefully checked. Therefore, WK branch spokesman Stefan Sternad again appeals to all companies to pay attention to the 3G rule. Otherwise, you could face high fines.
Veldens community chief Ferdinand Vouk, who had called for a mask requirement at the beginning of the season, is relieved that the virus has not spread further: “Two are positive, there are two suspected cases.” The test station in the ice rink is now from 1000 people been used. Today it is open between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Vouk urges everyone to get vaccinated: “The greatest caution is required!”
Experts advise on measures
On Monday, experts will be given advice on measures in Velden and the Upper Carinthian tourist destination, where 18 out of 27 holidaymakers tested positive. “It is quite possible that a mask requirement will be made regionally,” said Gerd Kurath, the country’s spokesman.
