Rules are gradually being eased in Austria after three weeks of lockdown

The country says acting 'fast and restrictively' has let it 'come out of this crisis more quickly'.

Kurz warned citizens not to celebrate Easter with people outside their household and said he wouldn’t be seeing his own parents.If all goes well, they all other shops, hairdressers and shopping malls would be allowed to open their doors from May 1, but only one customer per 20 square metres will be allowed inside.

Kurz said if trends in infection begin to worsen again, the government ‘always has the possibility to hit the emergency brake’ and re-introduce restrictions. Austria currently requires shoppers to wear face masks at supermarkets and drugstores of more than 400 square metres.Opinion remains split over the use of the equipment. At a Downing Street press conference last week the UK’s deputy chief medical officer Jonathan Van-Tam accepted the masks are ‘controversial’.

The World Health Organisation have also said most people do not need to wear them unless they are unwell and coughing.
