The corona pandemic once again has our lives firmly under control. The increase in the number of infections, a de facto “shutdown light” in parts of Salzburg and the complete isolation of the Kuchl municipality in Tennengau as a consequence seem to cause more concern for politics and the population. Therefore, we want to hear from you how YOU feel at the time of the crisis, what are your fears and hopes and are you satisfied with the management of the crisis?
“The development is dramatic,” with these words, Governor Wilfried Haslauer (ÖVP) yesterday announced a series of measures to control the considerably higher number of new Covid 19 infections in the state. As reported, the Kuchl community will be in quarantine from tomorrow, across the state of Salzburg there is a ban on events with unassigned seats and a requirement for registration in the gastro. The Tennengau was turned red at the Corona light, an additional adjustment cannot be ruled out.
National hardening is coming
Health Minister Rudi Anschober (Greens) announced a nationwide tightening that could take effect next week. On the one hand, the curfew could be brought forward, on the other hand, there is a threat that the visors used in gastronomy as oral and nasal protection will run out.
In any case, the objective is to avoid a new blockade as in the spring: “We have enshrined in the law that there could only be a blockade if the main committee (of the National Council, note) agrees and a system collapse is threatened Austrian health “, so ankle.
Less and less cooperative people
According to a current study that includes a comparison of countries by a research team at Bocconi University in Milan, the approval of restrictive measures such as school closures, travel restrictions or quarantine regulations is slightly higher among women than among men. mens. There is a similar picture when measurements are followed: Austrians follow measurements much more strictly than Austrians.
The authorities now seem to be feeling this too: with the start of the second corona wave in Austria and the recent tightening of measures, they are increasingly complaining about a lack of willingness to cooperate on the part of the population. More recently, Salzburg state medical director Petra Juhasz said of the clusters in Tennengau: “There was no longer cooperation in specifying potential contact persons for infected people. Many have symptoms, but they cannot be evaluated so they don’t have to be quarantined. ” Even social networks are asked not to cooperate and not adhere to the measures.
Current numbers
As of today (11.30am), 3,229 people (+102 compared to the last report) have tested positive for Covid-19 in Salzburg. The number of actively infected people in the state is currently 797 (+70) according to EMS.

The number of people currently hospitalized for Covid-19 is 43 in total, 5 of them in intensive care.
Corona affects our psyche
Corona also has an impact on our psyche. Experts repeatedly point out that Austrians are suffering from measures taken to contain the virus and social distance. Symptoms include anxiety, irritability, and loss of enthusiasm for life. Tobacco and alcohol become “crisis management” but can exacerbate personal problems. The corona pandemic is also turning into a “psychosocial pandemic.”
