New infections since the last report are distributed among the Austrian federal states as follows:

11,895 test results were reported in the last 24 hours. As always, there were far fewer on the weekend than on the week. According to figures from the Ministry of Health, only 66 tests were added in Styria. There were 174 in Burgenland, 191 in Carinthia, and 418 in Salzburg. Tirol recorded 858 tests, 1,022 Vorarlberg and 2,782 Lower Austria. 2,980 Covid tests were reported from Vienna in the last 24 hours, most of them with 3,404 SARS-CoV-2 tests in Upper Austria.

Exactly one week ago, on September 28, there were 8,950 actively infected people in Austria; Compared to the current value of 9,020, this is an increase of five percent. There was a significant increase in intensive care patients in one week: they went from 88 last Monday to 101 today, which is an increase of almost 15 percent. This is still a far cry from the previous peak of 267 intensive care patients on April 8, but Austria was on lockdown at the time and hospitals, unlike today, were not fully operational. In routine operation, the utilization of intensive care capacities in hospitals is usually more than 80 percent, in many hospitals it is 90 percent or more.
