Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz threatened Monday to impose a second blockade, as a last resort, if the current increase in the number of cases of contamination with the new coronavirus continues, dpa reports, according to agerpres.ro.

“No country in the world would allow its intensive care system to be outdated,” he added.

A number of restrictions went into effect in Austria on Sunday to slow the spread of the coronavirus, including limiting the number of people who can attend private meetings to six indoors and 12 outdoors to 1,000 indoors and 1,500 in external in case of larger events. The number of public areas where the mask is mandatory has also increased.
