In the federal government’s “step-by-step plan”, which only came into force on September 15, a lockdown for all was not actually planned. The plan was to be based on the number of Corona patients in intensive care units, and a lockdown for the unvaccinated would have been envisaged if the number of patients had reached 600. But the momentum of the increase forced the government to gradually move up and the lockdown for the unvaccinated went into effect as early as Monday of this week.
Over 15,000 new infections and 55 deaths
As of Thursday, 498 critically ill Covid 19 patients were in intensive care units, up 12 from the previous day – and up 66 from a week ago. The death toll grew by 55 in 24 hours, and new infections also continued to rise at an extreme rate: 15,145 cases were reported Thursday. The threshold of one million confirmed infections in Austria since the start of the pandemic was also exceeded on Thursday.
On Feb. 25, 2020, two people in Austria had tested positive for Covid-19 for the first time. 632 days later – nearly 21 months – there are already 1,011,465 confirmed infections in Austria.
Corona infections and intensive care patients since spring 2020.
In total, there have been three hard Austria-wide lockdowns so far (March 2020, November 2020, December 2020) and one regionally limited to eastern Austria this spring. The Corona pandemic in Austria began on February 25, 2020, when the first confirmed cases were reported.
