Austrian authorities have announced that the country intends to relax its entry rules. According to the latest update made by the official tourism portal of Austria, starting with February 22, the country intends to allow the entry of persons holding a valid test certificate. This means that it will switch from the 2G to 3G rules package.
"For entry into Austria, '3G' will probably apply from February 22." it is shown in the statement of the travel portal of Austria.
