Over the past week, the situation and the measures concerned have changed almost daily in Austria around COVID-19. For this reason we have waited a few days to take decisions - at least until 1 April - and to work out a serious communication for the time being. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a public health emergency of international concern as it relates to COVID-19.
