Some communities in the Perg district of Upper Austria are currently struggling with a high number of coronavirus infections. In Pabneukirchen, Bad Kreuzen, Dimbach and St. Georgen, the incidence of seven days per 100,000 inhabitants exceeds 1,000.
The health authority epidemiologically assesses the current situation of the crown in the communities as critical, the country’s crisis team said at the request of the APA.
High coronavirus numbers in Perg district
The follow-up so far has shown that the infections originate in a private group of cases, a local business, an educational institution, and several families. Therefore, the health authorities have already taken action in recent days: schools have been sent to distance education for the next week, kindergartens have closed their operations. However, absolutely necessary care is still possible. There is a wide campaign of PCR tests in companies, schools and kindergartens. At the same time, police surveillance in the areas was increased. Regularly operated test roads started this week in Pabneukirchen and Waldhausen.
At the same time, the population is informed about the mayor by mail and asked to comply with protective measures. The measures were carried out in close coordination with mayors, businesses, school administrators, as well as the Upper Austrian Department of Education and the regional crisis management team.
Upper Austria: incidence in the entire Perg district in 345
In Perg district, the 7-day incidence is currently 345 and is therefore also the favorite in Upper Austria. According to the federal government, exit checks are planned from the time the 7-day 400 incident continues for more than seven days. So residents are only allowed to leave the premises with a negative test result, as has already been implemented in other federal states.
“In a federal state like Upper Austria, we have the challenge of not being able to cordon off districts like in Tyrol because the access roads are clear,” said Carmen Breitwieser, head of the Upper Austria crisis team. Therefore, concepts are currently being worked out with the police and the armed forces on what the checkpoints may look like in the districts. A strategy will be developed for each individual district. “However, we hope that we do not need these concepts,” said Breitwieser.
