A new regulation will apply from August: Anyone who does not feel sick can leave the house even after a positive corona test.The corona quarantine now finally falls in August.Anyone who does not feel sick can therefore leave the house even after a positive corona test, but is subject to traffic restrictions.This means that an FFP2 mask must be worn unless you are outdoors and there is no one within two meters of you.The ordinance also defines entry bans.These are hospitals as well as nursing and disabled and spa facilities, child care facilities, elementary schools and after-school care centers.However, employees are allowed to enter these workplaces - with a mask if they are infected.In any case, work with a positive test will be possible again in the future - specifically from the entry into force of the regulation on August 1st - if an FFP2 mask is worn.However, this does not apply in professions where wearing a mask de facto makes it impossible to carry out the job, such as speech therapists and musicians.There are no restrictions if only currently infected people come together at the workplace.But even here there is an exception.A mask must be worn in vulnerable settings such as hospitals.There should again be an exception for risk groups in the future.You do not have to work at the place of work if there is no suitable protective device (room divider, etc.).At home, there is no need to wear a mask for infected people as long as only people from the same household are present, this also applies to private cars.You can go to inns or swimming pools yourself, despite positive tests, but only with a mask.That means sitting in the restaurant and chatting, consuming something there is expressly not permitted.It should be noted that the traffic restrictions do not only apply after a positive PCR test, but after an antigen test that indicates an infection with Covid.If this is not confirmed by a PCR test, the requirements are dropped.In any case, the traffic restrictions apply for a maximum of ten days, after five you can test yourself free.The rules currently provide for quarantine for at least five days, after which you can be tested with a CT value of over 30.Except in Vienna, traffic restrictions already apply after five days up to the tenth if you are still positive.SW Medienservice GmbH Weißgerberlände 38, 1030 Vienna kontakt(at)stadt-wien.atThe Internet platform www.stadt-wien.at is not the official website of the City of Vienna.You can find this at www.wien.gv.at© 2022 SW Medienservice GmbH - All rights reserved.We use technical analysis to improve your use of our services.To do this, we use cookies and similar technologies for various purposes, including analytics and personalized marketing communications.By continuing to use our service, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with our Cookie Policy (Privacy Policy).You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.These cookies are absolutely necessary for the functioning of our website.With the help of these cookies we improve user behavior on our website.Anonymized data is collected from website users to improve the user journey and to be able to display more relevant content.With the help of these cookies we can provide content such as videos and maps.
