The corona numbers in the country are at record levels, and the situation is getting worse, especially in some regions. “Today” has the details.
Austria is currently in the fifth corona wave, which is characterized by the new omicron mutant. This is considered highly contagious: This is best shown by the Trouble series regarding the Corona numbers. In the last few days there has been no reporting of the current infection numbers, meanwhile the Mückstein department has apparently gotten the technical problems under control once more. On Monday there was a total of 25,610 new infections, almost 10,000 more than a week ago, on January 17th.
In order to increase the vaccination rate – and thus also to dampen the extent of the omicron wave – the vaccination requirement will come into force in a week. The Chamber of Commerce is demanding a simultaneous end to the drastic corona measures (More on this HERE>>>). In addition, the first country chief is already demanding that End of lockdown for the unvaccinated, but under certain conditions.
