Commission decision: Austria nationwide and eight federal states in red



[ad_1]

In view of the worrying development in the number of infections and hospital capacities, the traffic light commission decided on Thursday to put Austria as a red state.

If you go to the state level, all federal states except Carinthia are classified in red, which means a very high risk of infections with SARS-COV-2. Even at the district level, non-red areas have become rare. The reasons for the evaluation will be published on Friday.

Burgenland: only the Güssing district is not red

Therefore, the red light is applied without restriction to Vienna, where no distinction is made between individual districts, and to all districts of Salzburg and Upper Austria.

In Tyrol, eight districts are lit red, only Ausserfern, the Reutte district, jumps to orange. In Styria, with one exception, the Murau district, which receives yellow, also predominates in red.

The same applies to Burgenland, where only the Güssing district does not turn red, but orange.

Quartet in Lower Austria as Red Exceptions

The Hollabrunn, Horn, Mistelbach and Scheibbs districts glow orange in Lower Austria, the rest must be turned red.

Scheibbs district flashes orange again

In Carinthia, Spittal an der Drau turns yellow, the Villach-Stadt, Villach-Land, Klagenfurt-Stadt and Feldkirchen districts turn orange. The rest is red In Vorarlberg, the Montafon-Brandnertal region is red, the Bregenzerwald / Kleinwalsertal region is orange and the Große Walsertal and Klostertal / Arlberg region is yellow.

This means that there are only four regions or districts with medium risk in all of Austria. Green, a low risk, has completely disappeared from the map.

In the vast majority of the country, experts now take high or very high risk when assessing the epidemiological situation, even at the regional level.
