There is also such an upper limit in almost all German federal states, except in Brandenburg and North Rhine-Westphalia. The limit here is a number of more than 50 newly infected per 100,000 inhabitants over the last seven days.

In Austria, the number of new infections / 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days was 1.1 according to the Corona traffic light from the Complexity Science Hub (CSH).

Travel restrictions also apply to all countries outside Europe. When you return to Austria, a 14-day self-insulation is necessary.
