Crown numbers explode in Tennengau

Here the honest help of the population is required. The question is not to find the culprit, but to break the chain of infection ”, the state medical director, Petra Juhasz, urgently appeals.
84 of the 119 municipalities affected
The infection process has been very dynamic in recent weeks, especially in Tennengau, but Pongau also seems to be increasingly affected. “With a 7-day incidence of 235, Tennengau is the leader in Austria and Pongau has passed the 100 mark. The reproduction factor also increased slightly again to 1.26. The number of active cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the state of Salzburg now exceeds 100 (101.9), and here there is a strong upward trend, ”says the head of state statistics, citing key points. 84 of the 119 municipalities are now also affected.

“In Tennengau, the action is concentrated in Kuchl, Adnet, Golling and Hallein, but most of the other commoners are affected as well,” Filipp said. Here is a comparison of actively infected people by district.

Urgent appeal from the Pinzgau
The infection situation in Pinzgau is currently relatively stable, but District Captain Bernhard Gratz is sure: “We don’t feel safe about it, it can affect us too quickly. That is why I say it clearly: “Reckless private parties put our entire economic existence at risk. Due to a few hours of fun and no personal responsibility, a German travel warning for Salzburg occurs and thousands of jobs are in danger. I understand that all this gets on people’s nerves at seven months, but the truth is that if precautionary measures are not taken, the health and economic consequences are fatal, ”says Gratz.
