In the last 24 hours, there were 7,821 new corona infections in Austria. No other deaths were reported on Thursday.
With 7,821 more new corona infections in 24 hours, the seven-day incidence per 100,000 population continues to rise and currently stands at 461.7 as of Thursday. The average of the last seven days is 5,955, well below that. According to the AGES update, 8,264 cases were reported yesterday, the highest since Aug.
The number of new corona infections in Austria continues to rise
966 people were in the hospital on Thursday morning, 39 more than the day before. 55 people are being treated in intensive care units. While no other deaths were reported on Thursday, the Covid 19 pandemic has killed 20,700 people in Austria so far, the ten-day difference from the previous day is based on late reports.
More patients in hospitals – trend set to continue
The increase in corona infections reported over the past two weeks has already led to a slight increase in hospital occupancy. This trend in hospitals is likely to continue in line with Wednesday’s Covid forecast. In two weeks, the model computers expect more than 1,000 people infected in normal wards.
Medium risk: Corona traffic light is yellow
In its current risk assessment, the Corona Commission comes to the conclusion that the most recent epidemiological development means an average risk for the whole of Austria. The traffic light is therefore yellow.
As far as individual federal states are concerned, there is a medium risk in Carinthia and Upper Austria. In contrast, the current situation in Burgenland, Lower Austria, Salzburg, Styria, Tyrol and Vienna is associated with low risk. A very low risk is seen in Vorarlberg.
