Drastic pandemic increase in Austria: more than 3,700 cases registered in the last 24 hours. Upper Austria is the new problem child.
Corona numbers are rising again in Austria ahead of the fall vacations, and from a high level. In an average of one week, there are now more than 2,300 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants. And this also affects the 7-day incidence, which is already at 183.3.
This means that the value has risen significantly in recent days. The figure is highest in Upper Austria (264.4) and Salzburg (253.3), and lowest in Vorarlberg (89.4) and Burgenland (104.4). Vienna, the federal capital, currently has a 7-day incidence of 141.1.
In the meantime, Corona numbers have leveled off at an elevated level in the country; most recently, there were frequently – with the exception of Monday, October 19 – always more than 2,000 new infections in 24 hours. And what is the virus situation today, Wednesday?
According to “Heute” newspaper, there have been a total of 3,727 new infections and 13 deaths across Austria in the last 24 hours. For comparison: a week ago, on October 13, there had been 2,614 Corona cases.

The Ministry of Health’s dashboard is operated by the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES) and can be accessed at “covid19-dashboard.ages.at.” The dashboard obtains its data exclusively from the Epidemiological Monitoring Register (EMS). The EMS is the official register in which data is entered by the district authorities as well as by laboratories.
The Federal Ministry of the Interior collects the figures as part of the coordination of State Crisis and Disaster Management via daily registrations from the provinces. These figures may include cases that are not yet recorded in the EMS.
