“The next few days will be the days to set the course. If there is no relaxation through the effectiveness of the partial lockdown, then we will have to strengthen the partial lockdown,” Anschober said.

The positive tests reported – 5,933 nationwide on Sunday yesterday, about 8,000 on Saturday – said Anschober was “dramatically high,” while the 459 Covid-19 patients in intensive care units, an increase of 58 per cent. hundred in a week, they were “worrisome.” . Now it is important to ensure that “the limits of the healthcare system are not exceeded,” Anschober warned. In response to a request from OÖN, the Ministry of Health named 850 intensive care patients as a guideline: “There are new measures to be taken if there is a risk that this number will be exceeded.” The “long stopping distance” means you have to react early. There are basically 515 intensive care beds still available, but even without Covid, an intensive care unit is typically one-third full, doctors emphasize.
Anschober called on the population to “at least halve” contacts, maintain the minimum distance, wear oral and nasal protection masks, consistently comply with measures such as exit restrictions and use the Stop Corona app. Health officials from all federal states also made a joint statement yesterday in which they appealed to the population to comply with the measures to contain the corona virus. The fight against the virus can not only be won in hospitals, but through personal responsibility and solidarity at the doors of hospitals, the statement said.
