"After seven weeks in which no appointments were possible, I have the great fortune of having got the first appointment at my hairdresser," Gertraud Schubert said proudly as she had her hair cut and coloured at Hair Concept, a Vienna salon which is fully booked for the next three weeks. In Vienna, hairdressers and clients wore face masks, which are required in shops and on public transport.The lockdown loosening started on April 14 with DIY and garden centres as well as non-essential shops of up to 400 square metres. Restaurants, cafes and bars can reopen on May 15, followed by hotels on May 29, provided infections do not surge.
