Austria was the second European country after Italy to impose lockdown measures as a result of COVID-19. Austria was also one of the first European countries to lift restrictions by allowing the reopening of restaurants, small businesses, and garden centers—but only until 11:00 PM.On May 23, 2020, while out with his wife at an Italian restaurant in Vienna, the couple stayed past 11:00 PM and had to be reminded by police to leave the area. Van der Bellen apologized for his breach and took full responsibility for staying out past the state-mandated curfew. He has also said that he will pay any fine imposed on the restaurant owner as a result of the infraction.
