(ANSA) - BOLZANO/BOZEN, OCTOBER 15 - According to
Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, the pandemic's progress in Austria
has assumed "very worrying" dimensions. The head of the
OEVP-Green government urged the Laender to tighten the screws in
the fight against Covid. "In light of the massive spread of the
virus in Europe, drastic measures are needed. Everyone must be
clear that the situation is serious," Kurz said in an appeal to
the Laender governors. In the letter, published by the APA, the
chancellor asked for interventions at the regional level,
"because from a certain moment on, timely tests and contact
tracing will no longer be possible." Kurz also appeals to the
Austrians to take the situation seriously, "supporting the
containment measures." (ANSA).
