Health Minister Rudi Anschober proclaims the days of resignation: This should control the situation in domestic intensive care units.
“For a comparatively very high Sunday, the 5,665 positive results recorded out of a total of 25,327 somewhat lower recorded tests are still today,” said Health Minister Anschober. The highest figures are recorded in Vienna, Lower Austria and Upper Austria, with more than 1,000 each. “The deciding factor at the moment, however, is the number of hospitalizations, they continue to rise strongly,” says the minister.
4,178 seriously ill Covid patients, 152 more than 24 hours ago, are being treated in Austrian hospitals, 599 of them, 15 more than the previous day, with very serious illnesses in intensive care. 72,215 confirmed cases are in home care, calculates the minister Anschober the worrying figures.
Days of resignation
“This means that the number of intensive care patients with serious Covid diseases has increased by 30% compared to the reference date a week ago. And that shows the drama of the situation very clearly: if this increase continues in this level, we would still have reaching the limit of our capacities in intensive care units, in various hospitals and in the first federal states even significantly earlier, “Anschober said. As a solution, proclaim the days of resignation.
“Therefore, the hard lockdown that starts on Tuesday is the only chance to reduce severe overload in intensive care units, the last chance to prevent triages in Austrian hospitals,” said the Minister of Health: “They took to 20 days of drastic reduction in phone and Skype contacts. Visit, 20 days home office whenever possible, 20 days without family reunions or celebrations, and we can protect the lives of many people!
