Corona infections have increased in Neuhofen ad Ybbs parish in Amstetten district. 28 people in the community tested positive, “Kathpress” referred to media reports on Monday.

This also includes the “Night of 1,000 lights” scheduled for Saturday.

The parish has met all the requirements, said Katharina Brandner, spokeswoman for the diocese of St. Pölten, according to “Kathpress.” The situation was also adequately responded to. “All the officially necessary steps have been started. With regard to choral singing, the corresponding measures have now been tightened in the revision of the framework regulations, which makes sense and is correct for the cluster that has been created,” he says Brandner.

“Unfortunately, some choirs and musicians have taken care of the Coronavirus infected, although there were assigned places, the distances were maintained … “, wrote Pastor Helmut Prader on the parish website.
