Just over 4,000 new infections in Austria
When it comes to corona vaccinations, Lower Austria sees itself prepared for the fall. If necessary, around 1.2 million booster vaccinations can be carried out within ten weeks in more than 600 surgeries, the nine state vaccination centers and in vaccination buses, it was emphasized today after a briefing. Provincial Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner (ÖVP) also used this meeting to look back at what has happened to Corona so far.
“It really has been written at full speed for more than two years,” stated the provincial head with a view to the health sector, the “Lower Austria Security Family”, the state government and administration, municipalities and other partners. The State Health Agency (LGA) has taken on a special role in fighting the pandemic: “Having all state clinics, nursing and care centers under one roof has brought great advantages, for example in personnel planning or material procurement.”
“We are preparing for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow: with optimism for the next few weeks, with faster and closer offers for people, with great expertise and, above all, with rapid and intensive cooperation between everyone,” emphasized LHStv. Stephan Pernkopf (ÖVP) in a broadcast. Health Minister Ulrike Königsberger-Ludwig (SPÖ) recalled a “great willingness to help and standing together”. Around 1,545,000 isolation notices had been issued by the health authorities, she summed up.
