The planned opening steps seem to wobble. Despite the increasing numbers, Renate Anderl pleads that what is currently open should be kept open.
AK President Renate Anderl
The promised opening steps are wobbling in the face of increasing numbers of infections. There is even talk of withdrawing previous openings. In any case, the Chamber of Labor does not want more closings – despite increasing numbers. According to the President of the Chamber of Labor, Renate Anderl, the trade or body-close service providers such as hairdressers should not have closed again. She said that on ORF radio.
The government should keep an eye on the economic situation, because: “If we get into a lockdown again, where businesses are blocked, then unemployment will rise massively.”
She is in favor of “having these entry tests”. But it is important “that the test comes to the people.”
Test and vaccinate instead of locking up? Anderl: “Let's see that we can somehow manage that we don't lock up.”
AK wants to know what really happened at Hygiene Austria
The President of the Chamber of Labor also calls for full clarification on the issue of Hygiene Austria and wants to know who is responsible for buying FFP2 masks in China. Anderl cannot judge whether the government shares responsibility, as the opposition claims.
She says on ORF radio: “What has to be done – there is no question about it – that it has to be clarified very clearly how something like this can happen in Austria, that a product is sold as an Austrian commodity and in reality one has it brought from abroad. “
