AGE expert Franz Allerberger thinks wearing masks is “partly overkill.” The expert said Tuesday in the morning newspaper Ö1. Using it outdoors in particular “doesn’t make any sense” to the doctor.
“We don’t know where he got infected on the bus or outdoors,” said Allerberger. But it cannot be ruled out that a contagion will occur if “three or four people join together outdoors.” In general, however, the risk of infection outdoors is “very, very low.” In all the cases followed in Austria there was a close contact of at least a quarter of an hour.
Not so contagious virus
“This virus is not as contagious as some people think,” Allerberger said in the new issue of the “profil” news magazine. The infectious disease specialist sees virtually no danger, also from the advisory staff of the Coronavirus Task Force of the Minister of Health, when he remains outdoors. Overall, the effect of individual measures is unclear, such as whether the closure or warmer weather caused the decline in new infections.
The Health and Food Safety Agency (AGES) considers that developments in Austria will be relatively stable in the last two weeks. The actual number of replications of coronavirus infections was, therefore, from April 24 to May 6 at 0.81, the number of new diagnoses decreased by 6.8 percent every day. In Vienna, too, the situation is apparently irrelevant.
