At a press conference on Thursday, Anschober referred to the planned review of the effects of the current measures: “I have always said that we will start evaluating after 10 days. Today we have the 10th.”
According to Anschober, not only the infection rate in schools is taken into account, but also the effects that other measures would have on the “general system”. The “great spring success with the closure at that time” was, in the opinion of the Health Minister, a success because it achieved a “drastic reduction in contacts and meeting situations.”
In the spring, “exercise intensity” was cut from half to a quarter, Anschober said. We will now look at all areas to see how many cases of infection occur in a given area and how these areas affect exercise intensity, from gastronomy to retail to school, Anschober said, describing the evaluation criteria for additional measures.
Minister of Education, Heinz Famann (VP) had underlined WednesdayThe issue of school closings is now in the hands of Anschober and the government.
Anchober left it open when new measures could be decided. In any case, forecast calculations of hospital capacity should also be included in the decision. The main problem here is the availability of intensive care beds. These numbers are reported every morning, so not only is the number of beds available (or the question of how many beds can be reallocated for corona patients) assessed, but also how many illnesses are there among the medical staff.
