With the vaccines against COVID-19 now in use, life will return to normal in summer, he said, new mutations may require new inoculations and treatments.
"The aim must be to adapt the existing vaccines and treatments as quickly as possible or to produce new ones as quickly as possible - and to do so independently," he asserted, adding that Austria has been working on its own capacities for research and production.
he said that since spring, Israel, Austria and Denmark have been maintaining close contacts on fighting COVID-19 and would now move their cooperation further.
To this end, the two leaders will visit Israel and meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on March 4, Kurtz said.
The three nations will work together on research and development, as well as production, of vaccines and treatments against COVID-19.
The first priority is to "accelerate the production and procurement of vaccines for the future," the Austrian chancellor added.
