The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of the Interior counted 6,464 new cases of corona infection in 24 hours on Friday, in Upper Austria it was 1,532. This is slightly less throughout the country than the previous day (7,416), but the spread of the pandemic is slowly spiraling out of control.
More recently, the source was only clarified in 27 percent of infection cases, said Daniela Schmid, spokesperson for the Crown Commission, at the press conference with Health Minister Rudi Anschober (Grne). In the previous week, it was still possible to clarify where 50 percent of those infected were infected. However, he also emphasized that the allocation of cases takes longer in the current situation, since with several thousand new cases of infection every day, the follow-up of the contact persons also takes longer.

On Friday next week, the federal government will discuss possible additional measures beyond the lockdown, Anschober announced. No comment yet on the effectiveness of the shutdown, which went into effect on Tuesday, Anschober said. That would take at least ten days. In any case, expect a “notable stabilization” in the next week. The first priority now is to prevent triages in hospitals and to ensure that capacities in the health sector are sufficient.
Countries: keep schools open
Also on speculation about possible closings of additional schools (the compulsory schools and lower grades are currently open), Anschober declined to comment, as long as it was not known “how the closure works.”
The situation in schools also addressed the governor’s conference on Friday (see also the report below). Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (VP) connected by video. He announced that “the closure of compulsory schools is not currently planned,” said Salzburg Governor Wilfried Haslauer (VP). There was agreement among the country’s leaders that schools should remain open: “If parents have to stay home because schools are closed, that affects not only the economy, but also the employees of health facilities and the administration, which currently has so many challenges in locating contacts. In these areas, the request came in many cases: please leave the schools open, “added Krntens Peter Kaiser (SP). Crown Commission spokeswoman Schmid also said there was no increase in broadcast activity among the Sciliar. There are still school groups between 10 and 14 years old. But these were brought to schools through adults. (dollar)
