The development of the new CoV infections in Salzburg is very worrying, positive governor Wilfried Haslauer (ÖVP) on Tuesday afternoon: “So far, around 60 percent of the population have had themselves vaccinated, which is clearly too little not to have to take additional measures.”

With a current 7-day incidence of more than 600, Salzburg now has to take tough measures in order to be able to continue the health system, so Haslauer: “The framework conditions with sufficient vaccination options and PCR gargle tests in the wards and at home have already been created. “

Incidence in vaccinated people: 220 – unvaccinated people: 1,200

The 7-day incidence in the state of Salzburg was on Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. according to state statistics at a total of 601.6. For the unvaccinated people the value is 1,200, for the vaccinated around 220. According to the authorities, the number of infections rose sharply in all districts. “That is why regional restrictions are running out as planned, and they are being replaced by stricter measures throughout the state,” explains the governor.

Currently, 5,092 people in the state were infected with the corona virus on Tuesday. 115 patients were in the hospital, 13 of them in the intensive care unit. The 7-day incidence in the state of Salzburg is approaching the highs of last autumn, as Gernot Filipp from the state statistics emphasizes.

Significantly fewer hospital stays this year

It is noticeable, however, that with a comparable incidence, the hospitalization this year is clear, says Filipp: “With an incidence of around 600 before 202 Covid-19 patients were cared for in the hospital in November last year, this year there are 115,” said Philipp . “That shows: the vaccination works, it helps very well against a severe course of the disease.” Around 210,000 Salzburg residents are still unvaccinated: “A good reason for the very dynamic infection process.”

Refreshing vaccinations are now possible

In Salzburg, a booster vaccination is now possible six months after the full immunization, the recommendation of the National Vaccination Committee (NIG) is followed, the state correspondence announced on Tuesday afternoon. There are enough vaccines and capacities, said health officer LHStv. Christian Stöckl (ÖVP).

All persons who are registered through previous vaccinations will also be informed about the necessary refreshment by email or SMS. For the booster vaccination, you register at the place where the first or second vaccination took place. You can also choose a different impfordination.
