15,833 cases were reported as of Saturday (9:00 a.m.), and one more deceased since Friday there have been 615 deaths so far.
The number of people currently suffering from coronavirus in Austria has dropped below 1,300. Statistics from the Interior Ministry showed 1,290 infected, which is less than 34 compared to Friday. 309 people were hospitalized on Saturday morning, 79 were in intensive care units. That’s 30 or two less than 24 hours before. 13,928 people are considered to have recovered.
Relaxed border traffic on Mother’s Day
There will also be relief for trips from North to East Tyrol or vice versa just in time for Mother’s Day, as transit through South Tyrol is again allowed. According to information from the Ministry of Health, care must be taken to ensure that family travel, professional travel and travel to medical care are possible without further restrictions. At the same time, the Italian regulation also applies, according to which the South Tyrol sanitation company must be notified when traveling in South Tyrol.
Visits to Bavaria allowed
It was already announced on Friday that Bavaria and Salzburg agreed to simplify border traffic on Sunday. The “family-oriented border controls” agreed with the federal government would also apply to Upper Austria, said Friday from the office of Governor Thomas Stelzer (vice president). For family visits on Mother’s Day, “a credibility at the border” is sufficient. On Monday, the current entry requirements would reapply, he said.
Visits from abroad.
In addition, family members abroad can visit relatives in Austria. For entry without a quarantine obligation, in accordance with applicable regulations, there must be a “reason for special consideration in the family”. A spokeswoman for the Health Ministry said there is no directive from the health authorities, which she “reasons” about. However, one does not want to “separate families”.
Mouth guard at birth is not recommended
The health ministry also made it clear on Saturday that wearing a mouth and nose protector (MNS) during childbirth is not medically recommended. A corresponding guideline will be presented. Hospitals would have to take other appropriate protective measures to protect their staff, the elderly and children. Until now this was not uniformly regulated in Austria; in some hospitals mothers had to wear mouth and nose protection (MNS), in others they did not.
Leader: Russia, Brazil, USA USA
At the international level, Russia and Brazil are the leaders behind the US. USA In terms of the number of new infections, both countries have more than 10,000 new infections in the 24-hour period. This means that Russia already has almost 200,000 infections, making it number five in the world. The number of deaths in Russia remained low at 1,827, at least according to official data, while 751 more deaths in Brazil brought the total to more than 10,000, the sixth country in the world.
One of these other five countries is Francewhere the curfew will relax on Monday after almost two months of closing. Around 400,000 stores and service companies reopen. However, cafes and restaurants, theaters, cinemas, concert halls and sports venues must remain closed. However, in the Paris region and three other regions in the northeast, the stricter regulations still apply across the country. Parks and department stores remain closed, local transportation is severely restricted.
In Italy However, many Italian regions want to follow the example of South Tyrol and are pressing the government of Rome to further relax precautionary measures. They demand that retail, tourism and gastronomy, which should only start again on June 1, can open earlier. The regions advocate a geographically differentiated approach. Thanks to its autonomy, South Tyrol has already loosened individual regulations, e.g. All retailers can resume operations.
In Japan Again, after criticism, the methods for testing coronavirus should be improved. The government plans to approve test kits next week that can detect coronavirus antigens in as little as 15 to 30 minutes. Antigen tests are often used in flu studies. An already resolved relaxation of the test criteria overrode a rule that previously only people with at least 37.5 degrees of fever could be assessed for at least four days.
China, the starting point of the pandemic, announced on Saturday a reform of the country’s disease prevention and early warning systems for epidemics. According to the National Health Commission, a centralized and efficient chain of command will be established, and prevention and early warning systems will be modernized. Furthermore, in the fight against epidemics, the use of large amounts of data should be increasingly used.
Finally looks on a good path IranGiven that only 50 new deaths and 1,520 new infections were registered in 24 hours. In the country affected by the virus, so far there have been almost 105,000 infected and more than 6,500 dead. However, none of the more than 275,000 deaths worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University, recorded the Frer Islands. In addition, the 187 infected people are cured. Therefore, the islands that belong to the Danish kingdom are officially crown-free. According to Prime Minister Baldur to Steig Nielsen, the country will soon return to normal.
