The number of active coronavirus cases in Austria is currently (as of 14.00 today) 15,459 according to figures from the AGES dashboard, which recently replaced the dashboard of the Ministry of Health. This was accompanied by a leap in the number of people currently infected, as convalescents are registered more slowly in the new system.
In addition, new cases are no longer assigned to the time of registration, but to the time of laboratory diagnosis, which may have taken place days before. This makes the curve of the epidemic more accurate, but changes the number of newly reported infections, which was previously often used as a characteristic value, but is still communicated in the morning by the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Health.
The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of the Interior today reported 1,552 newly registered CoV cases within the last 24 hours (as of 9:30 a.m. today). More significant, however, is the number of positively diagnosed cases over the past seven days per 100,000 inhabitants (7-day incidence), which stands at 89.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, there have been a total of 60,764 laboratory-confirmed cases nationwide. 664 people have to be treated in hospital because of the infection. 119 hospitalized persons are in intensive care. According to the AGES dashboard, 894 people have died as a result of the infection.
