Coronavirus in Salzburg: four districts of Salzburg in red

After Tennengau, the federal government’s Corona traffic light commission also turns Pongau, Pinzgau and Flachgau red, so there is a “very high risk”. The biggest “jump” this time was in Pinzgau, from yellow to red.

SALZBURG. The crown traffic light commission of the federal government decided today on the basis of data from AGES and GÖG (Gesundheit Österreich GmbH, the national research and planning institute for the health system) on the numbers of corona cases, which cities and areas will turn “red”. .

The following image emerges for Salzburg:

Status: Oct 22, 7pm:

• Hallein is already red and will continue to be.

New red circuits:

• Surroundings of Salzburg (Flachgau)
• Put
• Pinzgau

This means that four districts of Salzburg are considered “very high risk areas”.
Only the city of Salzburg and Lungau are classified as high risk.

“The biggest ‘jump’ this time was in Pinzgau, from yellow to red. This is mainly due to large family groups.”

This means the color change:

State Medical Director Petra Juhasz is a member of the federal traffic light commission in Salzburg and summarizes the reasons for the color change: “The number of infections is increasing enormously in all districts. According to state statistics, 101 of the 119 municipalities are affected now, 1,416 people are actively infected today (at 4.30 p.m.) The reproduction number is 1.48. That means nothing more than that the corona virus continues to spread strongly in Salzburg. ”

The educational traffic light “freezes” at the moment

Juhasz expects a relaxation from the fall break next week, which will then manifest itself with a time delay. However, this only works if teachers as well as students and school staff adhere to the rules privately. The educational traffic light will not be turned on again tomorrow due to the upcoming fall break next week.
