The Austrian government has announced that its current 'hard lockdown' will be extended again to at least 8th February.
If things are looking better with the pandemic then the Austrian government says there may be small easings of restrictions, however they say re-opening restaurants and hotels is unlikely before the end of February at the earliest.
It is believed Austrian ski areas will be able to stay open to local people.
In better news the FIS have announced today that the Hahnenkamm downhill race, and the re-scheduled Lauberhorn race from Wengen are still currently 'on' for next weekend at Kitzbuhel. There had been worries that a virus outbreak in the nearby village of Jochberg might lead to the races having to be moved, as was the case with the Wengen races.
