Carinthia in Corona chaos: emergency, quarantine and hamster purchases!
The situation in Carinthia has worsened dramatically in recent weeks-Corona infection numbers are increasing rapidly. On March 10, 2022, 2,781 new infections were reported, which caused the total number of people currently infected to increase to 18,178. The location in the old people's, residential and nursing homes, where 46 facilities of Corona infections are currently affected, is particularly alarming. Of the 221 people treated in hospitals, 12 receive intensive care care. This reports ktn.gv.at .
The situation in schools is also critical. There are currently 74 classes in the distance learning and the positive rate among students is 1.5 percent, while two percent of the teachers are in quarantine or have been on sick leave. This led to a demand for a new test strategy and a rapid adaptation of the quarantine rules through the country's coordination body. "It is highly time that the federal government has a clear decision here," said Gerd Kurath. Future measures, especially with regard to the corona tests in schools, should continue to be implemented up to the Easter holidays, Kurath explained.
history of the outbreaks
The persistent uncertainty is reinforced by the increasing number of cases and the distribution of the new variant BA.2, which has now reached over 20 percent of sewage measurements in certain regions. A total of 66.3 percent of the Carinthian population is fully immunized, but in view of the increasing incidence, more attention is asked to attract the test strategy and its adaptation to the current situation, as reported by kaernten.orf
