Looks like the Sky Lounge is the only lounge open for right now - Austrian has this up on their website (saying business class customers for OS, LH, Brussels and Swiss can all use the Sky Lounge):
Mit 8. Juli 2020 haben unsere Business Class Gäste und Vielflieger auf Flügen mit Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa, SWISS und Brussels Airlines Zutritt zur Sky Lounge Schengen im Terminal 3 (F-Gates). Die Lounge hat täglich von 5.00 bis 20.00 Uhr geöffnet.

I was in VIE on Sunday and it is indeed only the Sky Lounge that is open. We were there fairly early (10am-ish) but it was starting to get really busy at around midday with a queue outside at times.
The food & drink on offer isn't spectacular but much more than what LH is offering in Germany at the moment: a small buffet with some sandwiches, crisps, dip, etc. and the full range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The only requirement is that you disinfect your hands before entering the buffet area.

Just a FYI for all non Senator/Hons card holders, but StarAlliance Gold, this Skylounge is non-accessible, you will have to buy access. This seems to be inline with the policy of the Lufthansa Group where they are not paying for 3rd party lounge access for non-Senator/Hons card holders. Check-in agent told me to complain to Customer Service if I wanted 
Rather iffed by this policy - they could have played it a bit nicer by maybe offering a 5 or 10 Euro voucher for Star Alliance Gold members in my opinion rather than scuffing them off.
Anyways...did not suffer too much while waiting for my flight yesterday.
Cheers!
ps: onboard service seems to be really minimal, either water and tea/coffee. Not even a small snack offered. From what I could observed the Business tray was also quite simple. As for deboarding, a rather mix experience, arrival into VIE, they deboard by rows (but quite a number of other pax after seeing those first few rows standing up, they start to stand up too - in the end, it was free for all. Arrival into AMS, no such rules, every one deboard at once).

Lounge in VIE reopens
Hi there,
I would like to warn everybody that M&M Lounge in VIE is closed. They redirect you to partner SKY Lounge.
It will be closed for some time until more flyers will be flying.
On top of that I would warn probably everybody not on the OE, LH, LX tickets that even holding Senator badge you will be denied entry.
This is another bummer to M&M program especially today when not many customers fly and are not able to use priviledges built over previous years.
Do not be surprised if you will have to change your ticket due to flight disruption at least on LOT.
You will have to walk to Terminal 1 outside security zone anb back. You might be lucky and whole process will over under 1 hour.

Not sure if this was posted before but the Austrian business lounge (Schengen) in VIE has reopened and it’s pretty impressive!
When I checked my bags they told me they had a new catering company which surprises me..so I guess it’s no longer do&co
there are quite a few offerings, good wines and drinks area, there’s a fruit stand area, a soup, dessert (strudel) and sandwich area with good choices such as vegetarian or pork options and good quality.
there’s also a nicer area where one of the workers dishes you up some of the traditional dishes
