Austria is rapidly approaching the 300 incidence.
FPÖ politician Kickl sees the government to blame.
Braunau / Austria - Austria is following the upward trend: With a nationwide seven-day incidence of 277.4 (as of October 28, 2021), our neighbor is scratching the 300 mark, Upper Austria is the frontrunner in reported cases of the corona virus.
With 389.2 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants, the Corona traffic light is red. Lower Austria and Salzburg are also shown with the note "very high risk, regional measures".
Stricter rules have been reintroduced in various regions.
Austria's Corona traffic light is red
Salzburg, Upper Austria and Lower Austria: In these federal states, a test is again mandatory for people leaving the country.
Depending on the region, leaving is only allowed with a 3G proof or 2.5 proof (vaccination, recovery or negative PCR test carried out within the last 72 hours).
On October 21, 2021, the Corona Commission classified the whole of Austria as high risk.
Braunau (Upper Austria), Melk (Lower Austria), St. Koloman, Annaberg-Lungötz and Adnet (S) are currently considered high incidence areas.
Only Burgenland and Vienna make it into the orange area, which "only" means a high risk.
The rest of the country is colored in the trend color red, writes the
courier,
referring to the working document of the responsible commission.
Coronavirus in Upper Austria: Area reaches critical limit
As early as October 12, 2021, ten percent of the intensive care beds in all of Austria were occupied.
The critical mark, however, is only 33 percent corona occupancy in the intensive care units.
As
reported by
oe24.at
, the Braunau district on the border with Bavaria has now exceeded this value.
The number of occupied beds in the normal ward is 246 in all of Upper Austria, and 44 patients are treated intensively.
The critical threshold is 34 patients, according to the newspaper.
FPÖ boss warns of the catastrophic development of the fourth corona wave
Herbert Kickl, head of the FPÖ party, is attacking the Austrian government.
In a press conference on the subject of "The black and green Corona madness will continue!", He assigns the country's top management a "last-class character" and calls the newly decided measures to cope with the pandemic heartless.
Kickl fears a bad development of the fourth corona wave, but the unvaccinated are not to blame.
Rather, the behavior of the Austrian government and the vaccinated people are the reason for the rapid increase in the incidence.
Herbert Kickl (FPÖ): Measures are a "rampage against human dignity"
Kickl also accuses the government of not having learned anything from the last few waves.
In his opinion, there are too few intensive care beds in the entire country.
An overwhelmed health care system in the fourth wave is therefore inevitable.
The newly introduced step-by-step plan is also irresponsible, because unvaccinated people are turned into “work slaves”.
The Corona measures are a "rampage against human dignity," the politician ranted in the FPÖ press conference.
A report to the Federal Office for Security is therefore already in preparation.
The accusation: being misled by the ongoing vaccination campaign.
The corona numbers are also rising rapidly in Bavaria.
