- Title: 225 AT COVID-19 Masks on transport
- Date: 14th April 2020
- Description:Austria makes it mandatory to wear masks on public transport From Tuesday it is mandatory to wear a protective mask or mouth-to-nose cover on public transport all over Austria, in nine provinces. Passengers are made aware of the coronavirus measure not only through stickers, but also through announcements on the overhead displays at the stops. There has been created a separate pictogram to inform the passengers of public transport of the new regulation, the layout may vary from town to town. The mask requirement applies in principle in all vehicles, but also in those station areas that can only be entered with a valid ticket. In other words, if you use a subway station as an underpass, but enter areas behind the validation machines, a mask or mouth-nose protection must be worn, the authorities said. The majority of people are staying at home, that is why the trams, buses and stations are nearly empty at usually busy hours.
