Shortly before the official end of the lockdown in large parts of Austria, the number of new infections continues to decline. From Thursday to Friday, 3,659 new infections were registered in Austria. This is the first time since the national holiday that fewer than 4,000 cases have been recorded. The new infections are further below the average of the past seven days of 5,016. In addition, this brings the number of active cases down further to 78,581.
In the past 24 hours, 373,456 new PCR tests were performed. This results in a positive rate of 0.98 percent. The seven-day incidence decreased to 394.48.
There are also 65 new deaths associated with Covid-19 infection to report. Thus, the pandemic has claimed 13,076 lives in Austria so far.
598 patients are currently receiving intensive care. This number decreased by 29 since the previous day and by 45 within a week. A total of 2,708 Covid-19-infected people are in hospitals across Austria, 105 fewer than the previous day.
Vaccinations
110,854 Covid vaccinations were given Thursday, according to data from the E-vaccine Passport. A total of 6.44 million people in Austria have received at least one vaccination so far. 6.08 million people, or 68 percent of the population, have valid vaccination protection.
First-time vaccinations accounted for only 7.6 percent of all vaccinations on the previous day. 8,416 people received a first protective dose, and 62,347 people within one week. Third stabs, which are important for a high level of immune protection, currently account for a large share. 82,899 booster vaccinations administered in the past seven days accounted for 74.8 percent of all immunizations performed. A total of 485,465 third-sticks were administered last week.
