The number of infections in Austria has been rising again for weeks. From Sunday to Monday, 1,896 new infections were registered in 24 hours, and the country is now back at a cumulative 7-day incidence rate of 209 per 100,000 inhabitants, according to the latest data released by the Agency for Health and Food Safety, Xinhua news agency reported.
‘In Austria, one person is vaccinated every 3.2 seconds and a million vaccinations have already been carried out.’
Anschober called on the Austrian people to do everything possible to prevent the linear increase from becoming an exponential one, so that the intensive care capacities do not again reach their limits like in last autumn.
He also said that a rapid inoculation of the vaccine will be “decisive” in the fight against the pandemic.
In Austria, one person is vaccinated every 3.2 seconds and a million vaccinations have already been carried out, according to a statement published by the health ministry on Sunday.
Austria is well supplied with a total procurement of 31 million Covid-19 vaccine doses, said Anschober, adding that all those willing to get a vaccine could do so by the end of June at the latest, provided further deliveries are made as agreed.
