Despite the increase, the Covid outbreak is expected to remain below last year’s peak levels over the next two weeks, the Wednesday update said. In addition, it said only about one-fifth of hospital admissions of infected people are causal because of Covid-19.
Normal wards across Austria are expected to see an increase from 1,304 Corona-positive individuals (as of yesterday, Tuesday) to a mean of 1,496 affected individuals by March 8. The range of variation is 1,156 to 1,936 occupied beds. In the intensive care units, the number of covid patients is expected to remain approximately the same, according to the model calculators of TU Vienna, MedUni Vienna and Gesundheit Österreich GmbH (GÖG), the previous day there were 66.
In terms of new infections, the data from wastewater monitoring available up to February 16 show an upward trend.
