Austrian chancellor threatens lockdown for unvaccinated

Vienna: Unvaccinated people in Austria could face new lockdown restrictions if coronavirus case numbers continue to rise, Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg said Friday night.

The news came after a Friday evening meeting between Schallenberg and state-level leaders to discuss their response to rapidly increasing case numbers.

"The pandemic is not yet in the rearview mirror,” Schallenberg said. "We are about to stumble into a pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
