The Corona traffic light is putting the entire state and the three eastern states at high risk, namely orange, and the rest of the country at medium risk, namely yellow. It is difficult to estimate how much this is really true. Because the most tests are still carried out in the East, which means that more cases are being detected. However, this has been irrelevant for coloring for quite some time now.
In the past week, only Vienna and Burgenland were over 50 in the so-called risk number, which represents the boundary between medium and high risk. This time, according to the working document of the Lower Austrian Corona Commission, it was added with 52.7. Vienna has by far the highest risk number with 73.3 and Styria the lowest with 39.3.
By far the most tests are done in Vienna
The federal capital also has the highest raw seven-day incidence at 1,261. However, with nearly 26,200 tests per 100,000 population, the value is also much higher than even the second most test-friendly state, Burgenland, with nearly 15,000. In Tyrol this value is only 2741.
Overall, numbers continue to rise everywhere, this time strongest in Upper Austria and Carinthia at 31 and 35 percent respectively. Vorarlberg has the most moderate increase with an increase of nine percent. Among the over-65s, who are considered particularly at risk, the national average increase of 29 percent is even higher than that of the general population at 22 percent.
