LIVE: Protesters rally in Vienna against COVID restrictions: counter-protests expect

Demonstrators including COVID sceptics are gathering for a rally against government restrictions in Vienna on Saturday, March 6. The rally is expected to be met by counter-protesters. On February 8, Austria reopened schools, hairdresser salons and museums with entertainment facilities remaining shut amid high numbers of infections as the government seeks to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Thousands of people have taken to the streets in Vienna over the last few weeks to protest against the closures.
