Problems with reporting system
It is also a new record for the Austrian capital. But: The high value is due to late registrations, according to the city’s crisis management team. For example, the value is only moderately meaningful, as there have been technical problems with the Federal Epidemiological Reporting System (EMS), into which the federal states report corona data since the weekend.
Therefore, the actual number of new corona virus cases within 24 hours cannot be read correctly from the statistics published today. According to the crisis team, the technical problems affect all federal states. According to Health Minister Rudolf Anschober (Greens), however, they should now be solved. Whereby the head of department was still expecting late reports for today, Thursday.
