"Starting from Tuesday midnight, November 3 and until the end of November, there will be the second lockdown in Austria," Kurz said at a press conference.

"As it was in spring, it will be necessary to abandon many things that are important to us, and I would like to give a brief overview. Culture, sports, free time events will no longer be possible ... The use of hotels will not be possible, except for business trips. Unfortunately, we must also close catering facilities, with the exception of pickup and delivery services," Kurz said.
