Austrians Protest Covid-19 Restrictions in Vienna
Tens of thousands take to the streets
"Freedom" and "Resistance" chanted by protesters
Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of Vienna to protest against measures to curb the spread of Covid-19.
Chanting "freedom" and "resistance", protesters marched through the heart of the city on Saturday.
The protest comes as Austria grapples with a surge in Covid-19 cases and the government has introduced a number of measures to try to contain the virus, including a lockdown and compulsory vaccination.
The protesters are calling for an end to these measures, arguing that they are an infringement on their freedoms.
The protest was largely peaceful, but there were some reports of violence.
