One record is currently chasing the next. After 34,011 new infections on yesterday’s Wednesday, there is a new high value, which went up again clearly. From Wednesday to Thursday, 43,053 new infections were reported in Austria. This is above the average of the past seven days of 28,526. For comparison, last Thursday there were 24,314 new infections. The number of active cases rises to 267,991.However, today’s number of new infections must be viewed in a slightly different light. Among new infections in Vienna, 6,009 cases were subsequently reported for the period January 19-22. However, even without the subsequent reports, there would have been 37,044 new infections, also a new high.
In the past 24 hours, 863,965 new PCR tests were performed. That gives a positive rate of 4.98 percent. The seven-day incidence has increased to 2,243.32.
There are also 12 new deaths associated with Covid-19 infection to report. Thus, the pandemic has claimed 14,042 lives in Austria so far. There are currently 1,315 people in hospital, which is one less patient than the previous day. 180 people are being cared for in intensive care units, 17 fewer than yesterday.
