The number of active coronavirus cases in Austria (as of yesterday, 2 p.m.) is 25,825, according to the figures of the AGES dashboard, which recently replaced that of the Ministry of Health. This was accompanied by a leap in the number of those currently infected, as convalescents are registered more slowly in the new system.
In addition, new cases are no longer assigned to the time of registration, but to the time of laboratory diagnosis, which may have taken place days before. This makes the curve of the epidemic more accurate, but changes the number of newly reported infections, which was previously often used as a characteristic value, but is still communicated in the morning by the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Health. Yesterday (9:30 a.m.), the number was 2,571, the highest number ever reported.
More meaningful, however, is the number of positively diagnosed cases over the past seven days per 100,000 inhabitants (7-day incidence), which rose to 154.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, there have been a total of 76,695 laboratory-confirmed cases nationwide. 1,058 people are in hospital, 158 in intensive care.
