Austria imposes full lockdown and mandatory vaccination
By EUobserver
Austria will become the first country in western Europe to reimpose a full lockdown to tackle a new wave of Covid infections, and will require its whole population to be vaccinated as of February, Reuters writes. Austria has one of the lowest vaccination-rates in western Europe. Austria introduced a lockdown for all those who were unvaccinated on Monday but since then infections have continued to set new records.
