Austrians have been rushing to get COVID-19 vaccinations before strict new rules come into force. Health authorities in Austria have registered a record number of nearly ten thousand new infections in a single day.
All over Austria, people are thronging to get jabbed.
Long lines in front of Covid-19 vaccination centers, even busses converted into makeshift inoculation facilities.
From Monday, anyone not at least partially vaccinated or recovered from a coronavirus infection is barred from entering cafes, restaurants or hair salons. In a month's time, they'll need to be fully vaccinated.
Around 64 percent of Austria's population is fully vaccinated. That is below the average in Western Europe, and not enough to prevent a surge in coronavirus cases.
Intensive care units are filling up fast. Increased immunity is seen as the only way to avoid another deadly wave of the pandemic.
