Furthermore, it could not be clarified in the investigation where the doctor actually became infected with the virus. The man was suspected of having been infected between March 5-7, 2020 when he was in Tyrol. The question was whether the doctor knew of a Covid 19 infection when he returned to work at the Salzburg University Hospital.
The doctor stated that he did not notice any infection. While he was still in Tyrol, he learned of possible crown measures on March 4. However, there was no warning from the authorities for the state of Tyrol or the Arlberg region.
The infected person had contact with around 100 people.
After returning from a skiing holiday in Ischgl, the anesthetist is said to have been in the helicopter for one day and then worked for three days at the University Hospital in Salzburg. He said he was symptom-free between March 8 and March 13. When he learned on March 13 that the Paznaun Valley had been quarantined, he informed his superior about his vacation in Ischgl. The anesthetist was tested for the virus on March 13 and was off duty.
The infection was confirmed. The university hospital then began extensive measures because the hospital doctor had contact with about 100 people. After he and his partner were infected, 33 doctors, 53 nurses, 18 patients, three flight paramedics and an emergency helicopter pilot were quarantined.
Where was the Salzburg doctor infected?
According to the spokesman for the Salzburg prosecutor, Marcus Neher, the anesthetist has denied media reports that he was exposing himself to a dangerous situation in local Tyrol restaurants. During the period in question, he visited two restaurants, two stores and an acquaintance, the doctor said.
The investigation also led to the conclusion that there is no reliable way to determine the site of infection. “That would be pure speculation,” Neher said. The man could have been infected elsewhere in Austria.
