It stays that way – Upper Austria will not go out of lockdown until the 17th

“Shopping tourism” must still not exist
What if someone travels to neighboring states where the shops are open to do their Christmas shopping? That still doesn’t work, says Stelzer: “That is exactly the point, because retailers say they fear an outflow of purchasing power. In a constitutional state there must not and cannot exist, because lockdown means lockdown, and that means that people are only allowed to leave their homes for certain reasons. And shopping trips to the neighboring state are not included! As a representative of the rule of law, I have to assume that people will behave in accordance with the rules. Purchasing power can only drain if there is a violation of the applicable ordinance. I’m not a denier of reality, but I just have to say that. And after a few days and the last weekend in Advent is definitely open in Upper Austria too, I assume that most of them will behave sensibly. “
