332 new infections within 24 hours. This is the first time the numbers have been above 300 since early June.
After a small dip, the numbers are rising significantly again, and there’s a reason for that. In terms of infection, about a quarter of the infections are due to travelers returning home , as an analysis by AGES shows. And the age structure also shows a clear picture:
The age group between 15 and 24 years increases significantly compared to the other age groups. Since the beginning of July, the number of new infections within this group has increased significantly.
The 7-day incidence also speaks a clear language. Here, the group of 15- to 24-year-olds is also significantly more affected than all other groups.
Right behind them is the age group between 25 and 34 years.
The group of under-25s is already responsible for more than half of all new infections.
In Vienna alone, there have been seven infected people in clubs in the past few days. In Styria as well. This resulted in hundreds of contacts.
Is it the young who have the problem?
If you look at the age structure of those vaccinated, you can see a clear correlation. For among Austrians over the age of 25, the vaccination coverage rate is already over 50 percent. Due to the fallen order of vaccination, the number of those vaccinated becomes significantly higher the older they get.
This underpins the calls and efforts to get young Austrians to vaccinate more.
Vaccination without registration has also been increasingly pushed in recent days to make up for this shortfall among the under-25s.
