Another lockdown is coming to Austria
Tomorrow we will find out what will happen but drafts of the newest changes of the covid measures are already online for us to see and they are not good.
On November 7th 2020 all hotels, clubs, restaurants and brothels, etc, will have to close down once again. You also shouldn't leave your home between 8 pn until 6 am except for a few reasons like emergencies and stuff.
It might be for 10 days only or it could be a full month. We will see and learn more tomorrow in the press conference.
Lockdown starts Monday night at midnight
The press conference is live as I am writing this. Brothels must close Monday night at midnight for at least one month. That means for the whole month of November. If you plan to travel to Vienna anyway, be aware that hotels shall be closed as well. For business reasons, I guess, hotel bookings are still somewhat possible but generally all pleasure will be halted Monday at midnight. Please don't kill the messenger, I am just as unhappy as you are!
Escort in Vienna in times of the lockdown
Unfortunately there is no clear law that deals with Escort in Vienna these days. The law that dictates this lockdown actually doesn't say a single word about escort which logically indicated that it is legal since prostitution has not been banned. The only thing banned in that regard is entering places of prostitution, so that means all brothel are off limits. But escort was not mentioned at all so unless otherwise ruled it must be legal. So we thought at least. Actually prostitution police has spoken out already claiming that as far as their interpretation goes all prostitution is banned. That said, once again, nobody knows what we can or cannot do.
If you want to know my opinion, knock yourself out and do it. I don't think any penalty filed by the police holds water if you write a good appeal.
From soft lockdown to hard lockdown
Starting on Tuesday we move from a soft lockdown to a hardcore (not the good kind of hardcore) one that is similar to the one in March this year.
Now all shops will be closed and only supermarkets, pharmacies etc. Will be open until the 6th of December 2020.
If I hear more I will update accordingly.
