Austria to plunge EVERYONE into full lockdown from Monday as Covid cases soar & ‘bodies stored hospital corridors’

The Sun says AUSTRIA will plunge itself into a nation-wide lockdown from Monday as Covid cases soar and hospital corridors fill with dead bodies.

Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg said the lockdown would run for a “maximum of 20 days” and imposed a new vaccine mandate.

From February 1 next year, all Austrians will also be required to have both jabs, Schallenberg announced. Those who refuse could face heavy fines.

Austria registered a whopping 15,145 new Covid cases on Thursday, smashing last November’s peak of 9,586 confirmed cases.

Covid rates have been rapidly rising in recent weeks as the country grapples with one of the lowest vaccination rates in western Europe – roughly 66 per cent – and among the highest infection rates with a seven-day average of 990.7 per 100,000 people in the past week.
