On Saturday, 1,391 corona infections were reported in 24 hours. There are still 372 patients in intensive care units.
With 1,391 new infections and 14 deaths in Austria, figures well below the weekly average were reported on Saturday. In the past seven days, hospital stays decreased by 231 to 2224 people, which is less than 9.5 percent, the number of intensive care patients decreased by 59 to 372, which is almost 14 percent.
The number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants registered in seven days, that is, the seven-day incidence that is particularly relevant to assess the spread, has also decreased slightly, standing at 155.2 from 155.7 the day before. So far, 6,275 people have died from Covid-19 and 21,105 people are currently infected.
Criticism of the freest
Meanwhile, the Tyrolean SPÖ leader Georg Dornauer on Saturday spoke out clearly against the law put forward by Türkis-Grün on the release from confinement and recommends his party to vote against it in the Federal Council. “The SPÖ will certainly not play the role of co-pilot in this turquoise green blind flight.”
Vice Chancellor Werner Kogler (Greens) left open on the radio series Ö1 “Im Journal zu Gast” how exactly he would look as free as possible. It is not yet clear if there will be an unequal treatment between culture, sport and gastronomy in the controls of the tests, because the corresponding regulations do not yet exist. The constitutional service in the Federal Chancellery is reviewing. Once again, Kogler emphasized that no mandatory vaccinations were planned. Even a free vaccination, that is, “a vaccine as a prerequisite for everything possible,” will not be prescribed by the state. How the private are handled for their own affairs, they would have to answer for themselves.
In Austria, vaccinations will start again from January 12. Starting next week there will be partial deliveries of around 60,000 cans per week. Vienna City Councilor for Health Peter Hacker (SPÖ) announced on Saturday that he would like to vaccinate as of January 6. “We will not waste time,” he told ORF Vienna. Starting on January 5, around 5,000 vaccination doses will be available for Vienna.
