Austria plans to let cafe, restaurant terraces reopen this month; waxfigures attract at NYC steakhouse
VIENNA/NEW YORK CITY Austria plans to let cafe and restaurant terraces reopen this month in a further loosening of its coronavirus lockdown that will get an early start in a small Alpine province because of its lower infection rate, the government said on Monday.
Austria first loosened its third coronavirus lockdown three weeks ago despite stubbornly high infections, arguing that the economic, social, and psychological effect of keeping all of its restrictions in place would have been too great.
Non-essential shops, schools, hairdressers, and museums are now open but restaurants, bars, hotels, and theaters are not. Ski lifts have been open since Christmas Eve but with hotels closed they have almost only been used by locals and day-trippers. A nighttime curfew has replaced all-day restrictions on movement.
