This time, Saturday doesn’t bring relaxation on the Corona front either. On the contrary. For the first time, more than 3,000 positive tests were reported in 24 hours.
How “Today” I learned on Saturday morning that there have been 3,614 new infections with the corona virus in Austria in the last 24 hours. It has never been more since the start of the pandemic in March. A further increase in positive test results was recorded in all nine federal states. Only the federal capital Vienna reported 777 positive findings and three deaths. However, this figure, which was published by the city’s crisis team, once again diverges from the value published by the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI) in a press release at 1:11 p.m. (970 tests are reported there. additional positives for the capital). “Today” No one could be reached for comment yet. The figures reported by the Federal Ministry of the Interior in detail:
➤ Burgenland: 101
➤ Carinthia: 84
➤ Lower Austria: 715
➤ Upper Austria: 662
➤ Salzburg: 235
➤ Steiermark: 339
➤ Tyrol: 400
➤ Vorarlberg: 108
➤ Vienna: 970
As of today (October 24, 2020, 9:30 am), according to the Ministry of the Interior, 78,029 people across the country have contracted Covid-19. 965 people have died as a result of the infection and 56,791 have recovered.
There are currently 1,177 people in hospital treatment for the coronavirus, 175 of them in intensive care units.
Why the numbers on the board may differ
The AGES Covid-19 dashboard obtains its data exclusively from the Epidemiological Registry (EMS) and is updated once a day at 2 p.m. The EMS is the official registry, entered by the authorities and the laboratories of the district.
In the Ministry of the Interior, for its part, the figures are recorded during the daily videoconference of the State of Crisis and Disaster Management in the Operations and Coordination Center (EKC). These figures may include cases that are not yet registered with EMS.
