Report by- Sukathi Eder; Linz, Austria.
Austria! Our Government made very strict rules just from the beginning!
Schools, nearly all shops are closed off, except food stores and pharmacies. We
have to stay inside the houses. Most of the people here did accept that. At the
moment the number is low... but doubling every second day. The high impact is
assumed to be in the middle of April. Anyway, the situation here is better than
in Germany and Italy. I stay indoors and try to keep myself busy. I started
baking bread by myself with helpful recipes from facebook groups. I can’t
complain, but I am missing the visits of my parents and friends a lot. Hope the
bad times are gone soon! But I am scared about the future, economy will be down
after all!

Linz: An overview
FACT CORNER: Linz is
the third-largest city of Austria and capital and largest city of the state of

of the Czech border, on both sides of the river Danube. The population of the
city is 205,726 and that of the Greater Linz conurbation is about 789,811.

the European Capital of Culture. Since 1 December 2014 Linz is a member of the
UNESCO Creative Cities (UCCN) network as a City of Media Arts. Cities receive
this title for enriching the urban lifestyle through the sponsorship and
successful integration of media art and involving society in these electronic
art forms. Linz is well known for the Linzer torte, which is said to be the
oldest cake in the world, with its first recipe dating from 1653.
