Very high risk of infection continues throughout Austria. The CoV Commission will continue to set the traffic light to red in all federal states today, according to the panel’s working document. The number of infections is rising nationwide, but the southern provinces are now catching up.
The risk figure of 862 still shows Burgenland as the “best” province, but it would have to be below 100 to at least get into the orange sector of high risk. The latter currently seems illusory in some provinces, for example, when one looks at the risk figure of just under 3,753 in Tyrol.
Where there are the smallest increases
The provinces that were the first to be hit by the Omicron wave have meanwhile seen the smallest increase in the number of infections. In Salzburg, infections have increased by only 26 percent in the past two weeks, in Tyrol by 40 percent and in Vienna by 49 percent. The provinces of Styria, Carinthia and Burgenland, which have long escaped more lightly, have seen increases of 85, 81 and 79 percent respectively.
It is also interesting to look at the districts in this regard. There are two this week where the 14-day trend is down, and these are two ski regions where high case numbers had been recorded early on, namely Kitzbühel and St. Johann im Pongau.
Many tests, especially in the east
There is a lot of testing, especially in the east. The front-runner is Vienna, with a good 150,000 tests per 100,000 inhabitants last week, followed by Burgenland (127,000) and Lower Austria (126,000). Vorarlberg has the fewest tests with a good 72,000.
Low is meanwhile the number of clarified cases, which lies only with 32 per cent in the Austria average. Without symptoms are 27 percent of the detected infections.
