Corona Statistics: 520 New Infections Tuesday in Austria – Coronavirus Vienna

The number of new corona virus infections recorded in Austria was 520 in the last 24 hours on Tuesday, the Interior and Health Ministry reported. 340 newly identified infections were added in Vienna, which, according to the crisis team there, are due in part to earlier test results that have now been supplemented.

In the past two days, new infections reported from Vienna were comparatively low with 64 cases on Sunday and 75 on Monday, but overall they are increasing. In the past seven days, 159 people tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 per day; the week before, according to the Vienna crisis team, there was an average of 127.

Of the absolute numerical values, 520 new infections also means that such a high value was last published on April 2 with 577. Only once were there more than 1,000, specifically 1,074 on March 27.

The increase in the number of patients to be treated in a hospital was much smaller: it increased from 163 people to 170, with 28 patients in intensive care units; this value was reduced by one person. Another Covid-19 related death has been reported in the past 24 hours. After 30,081 patients so far, of whom 747 have died and 25,629 have recovered, there are currently 3,711 actively infected throughout Austria.
