Annual record! There have never been so many infections! Austria before the Corona collapse?
Actually, experts had assumed that the vaccinations would help to reduce the number of cases of infection by the coronavirus. But currently the numbers are rising again in many European countries. Now, record figures for the number of people infected with Covid 19 are also being reported again in Austria.
Austria reports record figures for corona infections
Before the start of winter, record figures have now been set in Austria for the year 2021 for new infections with the potentially deadly coronavirus. The country’s health and interior ministries said Wednesday that a total of 4,261 new infections were reported within the last 24 hours. These infection figures had last occurred in Austria at the end of 2020. With the newly reported cases, the incidence figure in the country has now shot up to 280. It is also confirmed that 250 Austrians are currently being treated in the various intensive care units of the country’s hospitals. If the number of patients in the intensive care units rises to 500 or 600, then the regulations provide for significant restrictions on unvaccinated people. The largest number of new cases of Covid-19 was reported in Upper Austria. This is the province with the lowest vaccination rate in Austria.
