16,749 new infections in Austria
Ten new deaths associated with Covid-19 infection. Incidence rises to 1,112.68.

After a new pandemic high on Wednesday with more than 17,000 new infections and nearly 16,000 new cases on Thursday, 16,822 new infections were registered in Austria on Friday. From Friday to Saturday, 16,749 new cases were reported within 24 hours.

This is above the average of 14,149 over the past seven days, bringing the number of active cases to 126,064. 437,669 new PCR tests were performed in the past 24 hours. This results in a positive rate of 3.83 percent. The seven-day incidence has increased to 1,112.68.

There are also ten new deaths associated with Covid 19 infection to report. Thus, the pandemic has so far claimed 13,915 lives in Austria.

There are currently 890 people in hospital, 13 fewer patients than the previous day. 214 people are being cared for in intensive care units, 14 fewer than yesterday.

Vaccinations
On Friday, 62,446 vaccinations were carried out. These included 6,324 first shots, 12,305 second shots and 43,817 third shots – with the number of third shots exceeding the seven-day average of 31,925. A total of 223,473 boosters were administered over the past seven days. Currently, 6,390,474 people in Austria (71.5 percent of Austrians) have valid vaccination protection.

360,000 in quarantine
360,000 people have already been quarantined in Austria as of Friday, according to Red Cross Federal Rescue Commander Gerry Foitik, who is also a Gecko member. These are no longer allowed or able to leave their homes “because they are too sick for it, are infected or are contacts. The trend has been rising sharply for days,” Foitik said on the short message service Twitter.

Foitik called it a “mini-shutdown” in light of the numbers. “Which does not feel ‘mini’ to those affected,” the federal rescue commander said.
