Austria will probably remain deep red on the Corona traffic light – corona virus
The Corona Traffic Light Commission will meet again on Thursday. It is considered likely that all nine federal states will be switched to red.
Red will remain the dominant color throughout Austria on Thursday after the meeting of the Corona Traffic Light Commission. Because the committee WILL indicate a “very high risk” for each federal state based on current developments. However, there WILL NOT be a real meeting of the people involved. The vote on the risk assessment WILL be made by “circulation resolution”, also via video conference.

Increase in subvariant BA.2. expected
The fact that there WILL be no improvement in the current assessment IS related to the still high incidences in the individual federal states. The paper, which forms the basis for tomorrow’s decision, shows that there is not a single district in Austria where the 7-day incidence is below 400. This value is currently highest in Feldkirchen, where the paper as of Tuesday shows an incidence of 3,763.9.
In a prognosis, the experts also assume an increase in the omicron subtype BA.2. out. “Due to the influence of the more easily transmissible omicron subtype BA.2, a renewed increase in cases driven by this variant was not achieved in the next week,” the paper says. The good news: The experts still assume “that the increase in the normal care surface will slow down”.
