On Thursday, the Dornbirn district was the most affected district in relation to the number of inhabitants in terms of new Covid infections. And today? The situation has eased a bit. The Vorarlberg district with the cities of Dornbirn, Lustenau and Hohenems has given up the number one position in the 7-day incidence in Austria. According to the latest data from the Ministry of Health, Dornbirn is no longer the access point of the Austrian crown.

Anschober emphasizes: “We are at a fork in the road”
Health Minister Rudolf Anschober (Greens) noted with concern: “We are now at a fork in the road. Either we manage to keep development stable by consistently implementing the new measures or there is a threat of a shift to exponential development by the end of September”.
At the same time, Anschober was confident in a press release that the latter can be avoided, “because the population seems to be shaking now after the waking of the traffic lights and the evolution of the numbers.”
Three new deaths in Vienna
In Vienna, three people died in 24 hours in connection with the coronavirus. According to a transmission from the Vienna State Medical Directorate and the city’s medical crisis team, it was an 83-year-old woman and two men aged 57 and 81 who had previous illnesses.
