Austria could begin loosening virus restrictions by April 14

Austria could start loosening its coronavirus lockdown measures from next week, Chancellor Sebastian Kurz announces at a press conference Monday, but warns this depends on citizens abiding by social distancing rules.

“The aim is that from 14 April… smaller shops up to a size of 400 square metres, as well as hardware and garden stores can open again, under strict security conditions of course,” Kurz says.
