28 positives: Corona cluster in Neuhofen ad Ybbs parish – Coronavirus Vienna

Corona infections have increased in Neuhofen ad Ybbs parish in Amstetten district. 28 people in the community tested positive, “Kathpress” referred to media reports on Monday. The infections are said to be due to a Primizfeier on October 11.

In Neuhofen, all events have been canceled for the time being. This also includes the “Night of 1,000 lights” scheduled for Saturday.

The parish has met all the requirements, said Katharina Brandner, spokeswoman for the diocese of St. Pölten, according to “Kathpress.” The situation was also adequately responded to. “All the officially necessary steps have been started. With regard to choral singing, the corresponding measures have now been tightened in the revision of the framework regulations, which makes sense and is correct for the cluster that has been created,” he says Brandner.

“Unfortunately, some choir singers and musicians were infected with the corona virus, although places were assigned and distances were kept,” Pastor Helmut Prader wrote on the parish website. The joy of primacy is clouded by it. Above all, he wishes all sick people a speedy recovery, Prader said.

As the number of patients continues to rise, Covid stations will also be installed at the state clinics in Baden and Hainburg on Monday, according to the Lower Austrian State Health Agency. The houses follow the locations of Melk, Lilienfeld, Stockerau, Neunkirchen, Waidhofen ad Thaya, Mödling, Tulln, Gmünd, Hollabrunn and Scheibbs and increase the total to twelve.

Appropriate action is necessary, LHStv said. Stephan Pernkopf (ÖVP). In addition, he again appealed to the common sense of each individual to “take the necessary measures.”

According to the state health agency, 175 Covid patients were hospitalized in Lower Austria on Monday. 27 of them were in intensive care units.
