previously promised to keep unjabbed individuals under perpetual lockdown.<\/p>\n<p>Austria\u2019s coalition government has announced that the vast majority of lockdown measures in place in the country \u2014 including the almost all \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2021\/11\/15\/corona-apartheid-austria-imposes-stay-at-home-lockdown-unvaccinated\/\">Corona Apartheid<\/a>\u201d restrictions specifically targeting the nation\u2019s unvaccinated \u2014 are to be scrapped from March 5.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>This is despite authorities having previously promised that unjabbed individuals would remain under harsh restrictions in perpetuity, with the nation\u2019s then-Chancellor&nbsp;Alexander Schallenberg telling Austrians that the unjabbed would not be able to participate in society until they were inoculated against the Chinese Coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.krone.at\/2629363\">report<\/a> by&nbsp;<em>Kronen Zeitung<\/em>, this threat has not aged well, with the government announcing a roadmap for the relaxation of COVID measures which will see the nation\u2019s unvaccinated once again allowed into bars and restaurants as soon as this Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>From Feb 19th, regulations banning the unjabbed from bars and restaurants are to be relaxed, with individuals who have neither been vaccinated, nor have recovered from COVID-19, once again to be allowed present a negative test for the disease in order to enter such establishments.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>What\u2019s more, Austria\u2019s unjabbed will not even have to put up with this inconvenient measure for long, with the use of vaccine passes in the country set to be all but abolished on March 5.<\/p>\n<p>The almost complete removal of vaccine passes from Austrian life will coincide with the abolition of the vast majority of Austria\u2019s other COVID lockdown rules, such as a curfew on the nation\u2019s hospitality sector.<\/p>\n<p>Some rules will nevertheless remain in place, however, including the mandatory use of high-class FFP2 masks on public transport and in supermarkets.<\/p>\n<p>The use of COVID certs will also be maintained with hospitals and nursing homes within the country, while entering Austria from abroad will also reportedly require either proof of vaccination, recovery, or a negative COVID test.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Forced Vax had \u2018No Effect\u2019 On Jab Uptake in Austrian Capital \u2013 Claim<a

freedoms to the nation\u2019s unvaccinated earlier in the year, this announcement marks a significant u-turn on the nation\u2019s approach to dealing with unvaccinated individuals.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite these relaxations, authorities still seem to remain adamant about its continued regime of forced vaccination.<\/p>\n<p>Vaccination against the Chinese Coronavirus has been mandatory for all over-18s within the country since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2022\/02\/05\/vaccination-against-the-chinese-coronavirus-has-become-compulsory-for-all-adults-in-austria-as-of-saturday\/\">February 5<\/a>, though the use of penalties \u2014 including fines of up to&nbsp;\u20ac3,600 \u2014 has yet to come into effect.<\/p>\n<p>While authorities in the country have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.krone.at\/2629571\">emphasised<\/a> that the forced vax rules are not \u201ca short-term measure, but a medium-term perspective\u201d that is required to tackle COVID, Karl&nbsp;Nehammer \u2014 who serves as the nation\u2019s current chancellor \u2014 has emphasised that a commission of experts is to be set up to continuously analyse the constitutionality and necessity of compulsory vaccination within Austria.<\/p>\n<p>The Chancellor claims that an initial assessment of the rules is expected on March 15, shortly before penalties for the unjabbed are expected to come into force.<\/p>\n<p>This reassurance that the rules are to be constantly reexamined comes hot on the heels of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2022\/02\/14\/forced-vax-had-no-effect-on-jab-uptake-in-austrian-capital-claim\/\">report<\/a> by&nbsp;<em>Kronen Zeitung<\/em>&nbsp;which claimed that the forced vax rules currently in place have not had a positive effect on vaccine uptake in the nation\u2019s capital of Vienna.<\/p>\n<p>According to the publication\u2019s report \u2014 which was based off data received from a government official \u2014 there has been&nbsp; \u201cno mandatory vaccination effect \u2013 and if there is, then rather in the other direction\u201d, with figures trending slightly downwards since the implementation of the measure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In what amounts to a seismic u-turn in policy, Austria is to relax all \u2018Corona
