Dear Colleagues,<\/p>\n

A few months have passed since the last newsletter. After the efforts of preparing for the congress, we all had to concentrate on our companies again and make up for the pent-up work.<\/p>\n

The current corona crisis gives us incentive to clean up our minds and possibly rethink.<\/p>\n

In any case, we will have to adapt to new situations, and information and exchange will help.<\/p>\n

WHATSAPP – Natur Pool Building Group<\/p>\n

Due to the work and movement restrictions related to the Corona virus and the resulting uncertainties, Andreas Holubar had founded a Whatsapp group for natural pool builders. Andreas is the owner of the Austrian Aquatic Association, a wholesaler and concept provider for swimming ponds and natural pools.<\/p>\n

The aim was to find a direct information and discussion channel for the industry so that everyone can adapt to the changes caused by the virus as quickly and as quickly as possible. The majority of the participants are Austrians but there are also South Tyroleans and Germans, up to participants from Spain and the USA. The group is open and anyone interested in joining the Whatsapp group can contact Andreas Holubar directly (Tel: 0043 664 4456678).<\/p>\n

After Italy, Austria started very quickly with strict exit restrictions. At the beginning the confusion was big because suddenly everything was forbidden but there were many questions and exceptions … and nobody knew! New information appeared every hour, which was often collected shortly afterwards, different authorities gave different updates.<\/p>\n

It was interesting to see that there were initially two groups. Some believed that it was imperative to continue working as much as possible to keep the business running, while the other group believed that it was irresponsible to work in this situation and spread the virus. The second opinion quickly prevailed.<\/p>\n

What Austria went through was repeated with a little delay in Germany, Spain, France later in the United States and is continually spread across the rest of the world.<\/p>\n

Austria is now one of the first to introduce easing earlier than many expected. Horticulture can get started again … and we will see which exit scenarios prove their worth in Austria or whether setbacks occur. Maybe we will be better prepared for others when the time comes.<\/p>\n

Enclosed is the country’s longed-for report from the 10th International Swimming Pond Congress last year in Warsaw by Claudia Schwarzer from Portugal and from the Warsaw tour the day after.<\/p>\n
