The dashboard of the Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES) yesterday showed a further increase in the 7-day incidence. The new infections with the Coronavirus in the past week are with 236 per 100,000 inhabitants (conditions: yesterday, 15.00 o’clock). This is an increase of 22 compared to the previous day.
According to federal states, Vorarlberg now leads with an incidence of 351, an increase of 52. Tyrol holds at 331, Salzburg at 307. A strong increase of 35 was recorded in Upper Austria, where the 7-day incidence is now at 284.
According to ministries 3,394 new infections
The number of active coronavirus cases is 36,989, according to 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. That was 3,394 yesterday (9.30 a.m.).
Nationwide, 1,040 people have died as a result of Covid-19. 1,569 are currently undergoing hospital treatment, 224 of them in intensive care units.
