In Vienna, 333 new coronavirus infections were recorded in the statistics on Tuesday. This comes from a broadcast from the city medical crisis team (as of 8:00 am). In addition, a group around a school in Hietzing became known. Himmelhof federal boarding school is affected, as is the free newspaper today reported. A spokesman for the crisis team confirmed this to the APA: “There are now 40 people infected.”

If you look at the background of this group (the Diefenbach Gymnasium school classes are at the boarding school location), it becomes clear once again how quickly the virus can spread – one teacher tested positive for the corona virus. He immediately informed the school. As a result, 90 people (schoolchildren, teachers) were evaluated. The result: 34 students and a teacher were also ill.

No lessons

Meanwhile, the coronavirus has drawn even more circles. The number of infected people has risen to 40. “Family members are also affected,” reported the spokesman for the APA crisis team. Am Himmelhof is currently noisy today no lessons are taught.

Currently there are 350 active positive cases in Viennese schools and 54 in kindergartens. However, these figures must be related to the total number of kindergarten pupils and children. There are more than 600 schools with around 230,000 students in the federal capital. There are also over 2,000 kindergarten places with around 87,000 places.

Deceased

So far, a total of 23,736 verifiably confirmed coronavirus infections have been recorded in Vienna. There were also two other deaths from Covid-19. A 75-year-old man and an 83-year-old woman did not survive the disease. This means that there are now 293 deaths in Vienna.

Currently, 5,686 people suffer from the disease. 17,757 people are healthy again. On Monday 4,986 tests were carried out, the total currently stands at 557,309.
