In Austria, about two million people who have not been properly vaccinated against Covid-19 have been placed on lockdown because of an increase in infections.
The measures, which were implemented on Monday in Austria in response to mounting pressure on the country's hospitals, will initially continue for ten days. Exemptions will be given to children under the age of 12 and persons who have recently recovered from the infection.
Hundreds of people marched outside the chancellery in Vienna's capital over the weekend. Unvaccinated people were already prohibited from going to restaurants, hair salons, and movie theatres, but they will now be forced to stay at home.
