SAFE HOLIDAYS IN CHALLENING TIMES

In order to make your holiday with us at the Apparthotel König as relaxing and safe as possible, please find enclosed an overview of the general Covid-19 regulations in Austria as well as our measures for the protection of your and our health. We kindly ask you to comply with them.

Date: 20.12.2021

ENTRY REGULATIONS

As a prerequisite for your entry into Austria, the "2G+ rule" applies - you must be vaccinated or recovered AND also have a negative PCR test (max. 72h old).

Persons who do NOT fulfil 2G+ (i.e. are vaccinated or have recovered but do not carry a negative PCR test on entry) must complete an entry declaration (pre-travel clearance) and go into quarantine. This quarantine can be terminated at any time once a negative PCR test is available.

Individuals who do not meet 2G (i.e., are neither vaccinated nor recovered) must complete a pre-travel clearance and enter quarantine. This quarantine can be terminated by a negative PCR test on day 5 at the earliest.

EXCEPTION to the 2G+ rule: Individuals who have a "booster vaccination" (3rd shot or 2nd shot for Johnson & Johnson) do not need to carry a PCR test, do not need to make an entry declaration, and may enter without quarantine.

At least 14 days must have elapsed between the first and second vaccination, and in the case of vaccines where only one vaccination was originally scheduled, at least 120 days must have elapsed between the second and third vaccination.

Registration obligation: There is currently a registration obligation for all guests, if they stay longer than 15 minutes in a location or business.

 

TEST OPPORTUNITIES

Guests can pick up PCR tests at several locations in Mayrhofen.

To pick up the test, prior registration via online application is required at the following link:

Up to 10 people can register on one user account.

Per week, each (registered) person with a residence address (address of accommodation) in Tyrol can obtain three PCR gargle tests. Within 24 hours one test per person is possible. If a multiple registration of a person is recorded, this person can still only pick up the maximum number of tests once. If six tests (twice the weekly quota) are collected but no gargle test is submitted, the respective persons cannot obtain any further tests until at least three tests have been performed and submitted. If a positive test result is obtained in the course of the PCR gargle test, this is immediately transmitted to the authority. The test result will be sent to the e-mail address of the respective user.
