Around one million Austrians are likely to have already had a SARS-CoV-2 infection. “As early as the end of October 2019 about 4.7 percent of Austrians are likely to have undergone a SARS-CoV-2 infection. It is estimated that 60 percent of infections are asymptomatic. This means that more than one million Austrians have probably already been infected with SARS-CoV-2,” said the head of the Center for Virology at MedUni Vienna, Elisabeth Puchhammer.
