Fewer infections were recorded in schools in Lower Austria.

There were 105 positive cases and 48 segregated classes last week.

“The measures are coming into force and schools are currently under control of the crown challenges. However, that does not mean that the situation will relax,” explained Teschl-Hofmeister and Heuras. Cooperation between education and health authorities is working better and better. However, fall is still “a great challenge.”
