Only a few institutions use a secure, electronic option for access control. In order to change that, Vienna and the Austrian Social Insurance are promoting the “GreenCheck” app, which can be used to quickly check vaccination, test or recovery status – for example in restaurants. After the presentation of this app in a Viennese coffee house, of all things, a corona case became known.
How difficult it is with the controls in the catering industry and how “full of holes” the system is in reality was shown by the press conference of City Councilor for Health Peter Hacker in a Viennese coffee house on Wednesday. Where the presentation of the GreenCheck app, a free application for simple access control via smartphone or hand scanner, was crowded with media representatives in the back room. The lively interest was due to the fact that the city council announced the first details of the new Vienna Corona Measures Ordinance. Neither the “Krone” photographer nor the editor were asked about 2G evidence. Other media colleagues reported that they had been checked very well. The “Krone” asked Hacker in the office and received the following answer: “According to the current federal ordinance, 3G applies in the workplace. Editors must therefore be checked by the employer when they start work. The press conference is then temporarily your place of work. ”Accordingly, 3G would be sufficient at the workplace, even if the professional appointment happens in a place where 2G is actually required. Journalists now have to tremble after the case , Contact Tracing of the City of Vienna contacted the editors. Now all those who were present at the appointment must tremble. Fortunately, the sick person was wearing an FFP2 mask.
