No long distance drives around Easter

The far reaching restrictions imposed by the Austrian government are working impressively well. In the week before and after Easter the average range of movement of people in Austria was significantly reduced.

Before the crisis, the average range of movement averaged over the population was about 14 kilometres per day. After the announcement of the restrictions, it almost halved to an average of 8 kilometres. Due to the easing of measures after the Easter weekend, the radius of movement almost reached the previous values again: more than 12 kilometres.
