Due to measures combating the spreading of Covid-19, the previously closed Viennese Christmas markets are now open again. They had to shut down for about three weeks and were allowed to open this past Sunday. It is so nice to see their lights in the Winter darkness. Filled with joy, I strolled through one of those markets. It is compulsory to enter wearing a mask and there are also signs to inform customers about this. Almost all people I saw were not wearing masks however. I was quite shocked actually. Could this low level of awareness contribute to the spreading?
コロナ罹患者の増加による規制のため閉鎖されていたウイーンのクリスマス市が再開されました。約3週間の閉鎖は、この間の日曜日で解除となりました。暗い冬に輝くクリスマス市の光を見るのはとてもいいものです。私は喜んで一つの市を訪ねました。市ではマスク着用が義務付けられ、そのことについての看板もありました。それなのにほとんどの人がマスクをしていないので非常に驚きました。このような意識の低さが疫病の拡がりに繋がっているのではないでしょうか。
