As KURIER learned from a trusted source, the Corona Traffic Light Commission has decided to make the following seven regions “Orange” as of Wednesday: Vienna, Innsbruck, Bludenz, Dornbirn, Neunkirchen, Mödling and Kufstein.

Orange basically means: High risk. Backlog of cases, which can no longer be directly assigned to groups. This means that infections can no longer be fully traced back to their source. But that would be essential for contact tracing to prevent an uncontrolled outbreak.

The commission (nineteen members, nine of whom are representatives of the federal states, five scientists and experts, five representatives of the federal government) basically only makes one recommendation for policy; what really happens then is a decision of the federal government or the minister of health.

Various jumps on yellow

In addition to the orange circuits, numerous districts have also been upgraded to yellow. Upper Austria is reportedly severely affected, with only Innviertel with Ried, Braunau and Schärding remaining green.

In Vorarlberg it no longer looks greener. Because Bregenz and Feldkirch are yellow. Governor Markus Wallner (ÖVP) told the “UN” not only to accept this, but to even ask for a new coloring.

The city of Graz includes Graz-Umgebung and Deutschlandsberg in the yellow sector. In Tyrol, Schwaz Landeck and Innsbruck-Land meet in the yellow zone. Many districts in Lower Austria, St. Pölten, Krems Stadt und Land, Baden, Bruck, Gänserndorf, Lilienfeld, Zwettl and Wiener Neustadt Land are also new to yellow. Wiener Neustadt Stadt, like Korneuburg, is still yellow.
