“The situation in the district administrative authorities is very tense,” Salzburg state spokesman Franz Wieser said on request. “The increase in cases can hardly be processed.” In the next two weeks, 60 employees of the Salzburg state government will be at the disposal of the authorities to support the follow-up of the cases.
Those who tested positive and those in the first category would have priority. However, it may take a few days for a decision to be made. In Tennengau there is no longer such a strong increase in the daily increase in cases. On the other hand, there are “very dynamic developments” in Flachgau. Wieser described monitoring for school infections as particularly problematic. If a teacher teaches in several classes and is infected, you have to reach about 150 contact persons. “An agency is only busy with one case.”
Laborious cooperation: “it can turn into a disaster”
Wieser currently described the situation in nursing homes as stable. These vulnerable areas would also be prioritized during processing. It is notable that the infections have spread across the state in the past two weeks. Collaboration with the population has recently been just as difficult: some of those affected refused to give contact details or get tested.

In an interview, Wieser asked to minimize social contacts during the holidays. “We won’t have that window of time until Christmas.” It addresses a “very, very serious situation.” “It can turn into a catastrophe,” said the Salzburg state spokesman.
