The number of patients with corona infection in hospitals in Austria continues to increase. Nearly 1,500 people – 1,496 to be exact – are being treated at the hospital.

Number of hospitalizations increases
The number of SARS-CoV-2 positive people who need to be treated in the hospital has increased by 26 patients in one day. The number of patients in intensive care has remained the same since Thursday, but has increased by two people in one week. Ten more deaths were added in the last 24 hours, which is why, according to ministry data, 18,977 people have died from or with Corona since the beginning of the pandemic. According to the AGES census, that number has reached 20,226.
The seven-day incidence decreased from 928.8 to 912.4
The 11,115 new infections in one day were slightly below the average of the last seven days (11,705). The seven-day incidence therefore dropped from 928.8 to 912.4 cases per 100,000 population. The federal state with the highest seven-day incidence is currently Vienna with 1284.7, followed by Lower Austria, Salzburg and Burgenland (972.9, 863.7 and 852.1 respectively). Then come Upper Austria (813), Vorarlberg (798), Styria (713.7), Carinthia (690.1) and Tyrol (642.1).

Currently, an infected person infects about 1.03 other people with SARS-CoV-2 in this country. The effective number of plays calculated by AGES and TU Graz remained the same compared to the previous week.
Only 36 cases were added to those actively infected, which is why this number has increased to 128,711. The positive rate of PCR tests dropped from 16.8 to 9.9 percent. In the last 24 hours, 118,841 rapid PCR and antigen tests were reported, of which 112,431 were significant PCR tests.
