Assistance mission now also planned at Lower Austria's border

The disinfection mats at the open border crossings in Lower Austria to Slovakia have so far been maintained by the road service. This task is to be taken over by the military at the beginning of the week, according to the office of the responsible state councilor Susanne Rosenkranz (FPÖ).

In Lower Austria, all test results have so far been negative. The controls introduced at the border to Slovakia on Saturday have been "very calm," with no incidents reported, police spokesman Stefan Loidl said on Thursday. There were waiting times of up to 15 minutes.

No positive test results have been reported from Burgenland either. The traffic volume at the border has stabilized at the level of the past two days, according to the police. The waiting times due to border controls were up to 30 minutes during morning traffic.
