It’s been ten days since largely all Corona protections fell in Austria. Since then, the number of cases has been rising rapidly. Yesterday, for example, 34,220 cases were recorded, the highest Monday figure since the pandemic began more than two years ago. The days before, unprecedented highs were recorded with almost 50,000 new cases on three consecutive days.

From Monday to Tuesday, 37,125 new infections were registered in Austria. This represents the highest ever on a Tuesday but is lower than the seven-day average of 42,917. Currently, 393,595 people in Austria are actively infected with the coronavirus.

The seven-day incidence is 3,375.10. In the past 24 hours, 431,530 new PCR tests were performed. This results in a positive rate of 8.60 percent.

There are also 40 new deaths associated with Covid 19 infection to report. So far, the Coronavirus has claimed 15,261 lives in Austria.

In hospitals, 2,987 infected people had to be treated on Tuesday – 131 more than on Monday. There was also a significant increase in intensive care units. 219 Covid 19 patients had to be cared for on Tuesday, 27 more than on Monday. Within the past week, hospitals had to admit 227 new patients, an eight percent increase.

Vaccinations

Interest in vaccinations remains low in this country. Austria-wide, 2,861 stings were administered on Monday. Of those, only 183 were first-time vaccinations, with third-time stings accounting for the majority at 2,086. In total, 6,808,821 people have already received at least one vaccination, according to E-vaccine passport data.

Exactly 6,229,578 people, or 69.4 percent of Austrians, have proper vaccination protection. Nearly 10,000 certificates expired last week alone.
