The number of deaths from corona in nursing homes and elderly is increasing. More than half of the Covid victims in households (323 of 607) have died in the last 40 days, according to a request to the Minister of Health, Anschober.
In Burgenland, 100 percent of corona deaths in households were recorded in the period from October 1 to November 12, in Lower Austria it was 91 percent and in Upper Austria 82 percent, according to a NEOS request to the Minister of Health, Rudolf Anschober (Greens). .
The second corona wave has a massive impact on nursing homes and senior citizens
The second wave of coronavirus hits Austria’s nursing homes and nursing homes much harder than the first. More than half of all Covid victims in households (323 out of 607) were registered in the last 40 days alone. In Burgenland, 100 percent of deaths from corona in households were recorded in the period from October 1 to November 12, in Lower Austria it was 91 percent and in Upper Austria 82 percent.
As of November 12, 38 percent (607 deaths) of all crown victims (1,608) in nursing homes and nursing homes were required to be in mourning, 323 of them only in the period from October 1 to November 12 . In Burgenland, all 15 household deaths were due to the second wave. In Lower Austrian households, 81 of 89 corona deaths (91 percent) have died since October, in Upper Austria it was 62 of 76 (82 percent).
Lowest corona mortality in households currently in Vorarlberg
Vorarlberg currently has the lowest corona mortality in households at 27 percent (four of a total of 15 deaths since the start of the pandemic). In Tirol, Salzburg and Styria, this proportion is between 32 and 38 percent, in Vienna it is 43 percent (75 of 174 deaths). Therefore, the Austrian average is 53 percent. Only Carinthia so far has not recorded any corona deaths in households.
1,150 deaths per crown (as of November 12) were over 75 years old, 520 of them in the 75-84 age group and 630 over 85. The total number of deaths per crown has now risen to 1,800. “Especially in nursing homes and old people’s homes, which are regional competence, many deaths could have been prevented with protective measures. Unfortunately, many provincial governors did nothing here,” criticized NEOS social spokesman Gerald Loacker.
“It is deeply saddened to see how many nursing home deaths can be attributed to corona infections. Obviously more needs to be done for nursing home corona protection measures and the money the federal states get for care must be liquidated The objectives and quality criteria must be linked, “demanded Loacker.
