There will be little change in the risk assessment of the CoV traffic light commission at its meeting today. As the 14-day trend in new infections continues to point upward everywhere, all federal states remain in the red zone, which expresses very high risk of infection.
Upper and Lower Austria, Salzburg and Vorarlberg threaten to climb above the critical 33 percent mark in intensive care units in the next two weeks. The trend among the over-65s continues to be negative throughout the country, and infection rates are also rising sharply in this age group.
Just how dangerous the situation in the country now is is also illustrated by the risk figure, which is derived from the factors relevant to the color scheme.
Below 100, the orange range of the already high risk begins, and the province with the current best value, the federal capital, is at 214. Tyrol, as the province with the worst, is at 1,057. A week ago, the risk figure there was 581.
Only 23 percent of cases in Austria are still asymptomatic, which is probably related on the one hand to the more severe course of the delta variant and on the other hand to the comparatively low level of testing. In Tyrol, a latecomer in this respect, only one percent of the cases that emerged were described as asymptomatic. Vienna tests by far the most and also has a 47 percent share of asymptomatic cases.
Nationwide, only 35 percent of cases are clarified, clearly the most in Vienna and Burgenland, and the least, 20 and 27 percent, respectively, in Upper Austria and Tyrol.
