Some data points.:

Austria has a around 60% vaccination rate² and around 12% of the population had an documented infection³.

Herd immunity is a discussion point but scientists are undecided how high the numbers need to be. Estimates from earlier this year did talk about 60% but this number was raised and some experts even say its impossible.

Regulations up to recent was 3g (since august).

The implementation was the following:

- FFP2 Mask mandated in essential services like pharmacies, grocery store and postal offices for everyone.

- No Mask or distancing mandate for anyone who was vaccinated or recovered.

- Mask mandate and a negative covid test that is not older than 24/48h depending on the testing method for non vaccinated for anything outside of essential services.

You count as fully vaccinated with 2 doses.

The minimum time between 2 vaccinations is 2 weeks but it might be better to have a longer interval according to research².

Recovered need to wait for a minimum of 21 days before getting a vaccination.

Vaccination need to be refreshed after 270 days.
