The Bruck an der Leitha district authority, which is responsible for the Corona entry controls at Vienna-Schwechat Airport, has given up the systematic review of the 3G proof of all arriving passengers. Travelers are only randomly checked.

Since the restart of air traffic in spring 2020, the Austrian Armed Forces have carried out entry controls on behalf of the respective district authority or the respective magistrate. Since Vienna-Schwechat Airport is geographically part of the Bruck an der Leitha district, the military is on duty for the local administrative authority. So far, all arriving passengers have been systematically checked.

This practice has now been softened, because the Corona documents are only randomly viewed. The control panels that were set up "in the middle of the way" have been removed or are now on the edge when entering the baggage hall. A soldier now randomly selects passengers who have to present their corona documents to one of his colleagues for verification. The vast majority is no longer controlled.

The fact that Austria had the Corona entry regulations checked almost completely by air, but only randomly by road and almost not at all by rail, repeatedly caused a lack of understanding. As if the virus would only come into the country by plane, but not by train...
