Vienna: Austria has decided to impose a full lockdown from Monday in view of the spike in COVID-19 cases in the country in recent times.
Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg said it would last at least 10 days and there would be a legal requirement to get vaccinated from Feb 1, 2022, reports BBC.
He made the announcement while responding to record cases and one of the lowest vaccination levels in Western Europe.
"We don't want a fifth wave," said Schallenberg after meeting the governors of Austria's nine provinces at a resort in western Austria.
