(ANSA) - BOLZANO, NOV 18 - Due to the worrisome spread of the pandemic, Upper Austria and the Land Salzburg enforced a general lockdown starting from Monday for the whole population, not only for the unvaccinated.

The weekly incidence per 100,000 inhabitants in Salzburg today is 1,672, and in Upper Austria, 1,557. "We no longer have much room for maneuver," said Upper Austrian Governor Thomas Stelzer.

The lockdown - he said - will last "a few weeks" and was necessary to allow hospitals to operate. At this point, we don't rule out even a general national lockdown, with an incidence of 971. (ANSA).
