Austrian government has just introduced new COVID measures. Unvaccinated people will only be allowed to leave home for limited reasons, like working or buying food.
They were already barred from visiting restaurants, hairdressers and cinemas, but will now be expected to stay at home.
Children under the age of 12 and people who have recently recovered from the virus will be exempt.
“We are not taking this step lightly, but unfortunately it is necessary," Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg said.
Over the weekend, hundreds of people protested outside the chancellery in the capital, Vienna, waving banners that read: "Our bodies, our freedom to decide."
What to expect in the future? Have you got any predictions?
