While developers getting closer to rolling out vaccines for coronavirus, Austria has scrapped plans to allow anyone with a negative coronavirus test to exit lockdown a week early, effectively extending strict measures and keeping restaurants and non-essential stores shut until January 24

The decision came following Austria's opposition parties blocked a draft law that would have allowed an early exit from lockdown for anyone producing a negative test for the coronavirus, reportedly, cited Health Minister Rudolf  Anschober as saying.

“It was not immediately clear whether schools are also to remain closed until January 24 or if they can open as originally planned on January 18”. The draft law would have allowed those with a negative coronavirus test to attend cultural or sports events, buy non-essential goods and get their hair cut, a week before the official end of the lockdown on January 24.
