Current play numbers
The new infections confirmed daily with SARS-CoV-2 are only a very momentary aspect of the Covid-19 problem. On Friday afternoon, the Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES) published the epidemiological analysis of the previous 13 days. According to this, the number of effective reproduction of the coronavirus, how many people infected on average by one affected person, fell to 1.14 in Austria during the period from August 14 to 26. In the previous comparison period it was 1.31.
The daily rate of increase in new infections also fell back to about 1.4 percent. Between August 7 and 19 it was 9.9 percent. For Burgenland, the statistics show a breeding number of around 1.3 (similar to Styria), in Carinthia it is around 0.8. Lower Austria should be at 1.2, very similar to Upper Austria, Salzburg on the other hand at a level of around 1.0. In the case of Tyrol, the value could not be calculated due to technical problems. Vorarlberg recently had a replay number of around 1.0. In Vienna, too, the number of reproductions of SARS-CoV-2 dropped to around 1.2.
Decreasing or stable development of the number of reproductions
The reproduction number gives an indication of the development of the spread of a pathogen. A value of 1.0 would correspond to the situation remaining the same, regardless of the level. Values below 1.0 indicate a downward trend.
Experts around AGES epidemiologist Daniela Schmid and experts from Graz University of Technology stated: “The decreasing or stable development of the effective reproductive number in Carinthia, Lower Austria, Upper Austria, Salzburg, Styria, Vorarlberg and Vienna It is due to a relaxation in the occurrence of trips. -associated infections. However, the number of new cases diagnosed daily remains high. “
A total of more than 200,000 tests in Lower Austria
In Lower Austria, the 200,000 threshold was breached in the crown tests. According to medical staff, exactly 200,882 examinations were counted on Sunday morning. The number of positive cases increased from 40 to 3,984, those recovered from 13 to 3,561. 108 deaths were unchanged in relation to Covid-19 in the state. 315 patients were currently ill.
Around 47,500 mobile tests in Lower Austria
So far, rescue organizations in Lower Austria have carried out around 47,500 moving crown tests. In addition, a total of 32,277 people were screened in 288 voluntary assessments, health advisor Ulrike Königsberger-Ludwig (SPÖ) calculated in a broadcast on Sunday.
In addition to rapid tests, implementing optimal contact tracing is particularly important. “Based on this, 46,000 separation notices were issued in Lower Austria,” said the regional councilor.
Recently there was a change in the age structure among those suffering from Covid-19. “If the median value of the people who tested positive in the months of March to June was born in 1969, it is in the months of July and August 1987.”
New test roads are now planned in Lower Austria for the autumn. In addition, it will be clarified with the federal government “how and from when we can start spitting or gurgling in tests so that tests can be performed and evaluated even more easily and quickly,” said Königsberger-Ludwig.
