The country is taking after many other European countries that are imposing restrictions as cases rise.
“We don’t want a fifth wave,” said Mr Schallenberg after meeting the governors of Austria’s nine provinces at a resort in western Austria.
Latest figures show an incidence rate of 990.7 cases per 100,000 people in the past week.
According to Health Minister Wolfgang Mückstein imposing a lockdown was a “last resort”.
With the measures, Austrians will be told to work from home as non-essential shops will close, while schools will remain open for children who require face-to-face learning.
