Six federal states light up yellow

 Burgenland, Carinthia, and Tyrol are the only federal states where there is still a high risk of the corona.

 AUSTRIA. According to the document from the responsible commission available to the APA, they will be switched to “orange” at the Corona traffic light today. In the other federal states and the federal state, the traffic light points to "yellow", i.e. to medium risk. The continuing decline in the number of infections is put into perspective by the few tests. Much testing is only done in Vienna, where there were almost 42,000 tests per 100,000 inhabitants. Lower Austria follows a long way behind with almost 17,000. At the bottom is Tyrol with not even 3,500 tests – despite the comparatively low number of infections, you stay in the orange area. In terms of the sheer number of cases, Tyrol is even better than the national average. But only seven percent of the infections discovered there were asymptomatic at the time the test was taken. In Vienna, on the other hand, it is 71 percent, which suggests a certain number of unreported cases. 

Infections declining

 Overall, however, the downward trend in infections continued this week. The drop in the 14-day comparison was between eight percent in Tyrol and 24 percent in Vorarlberg, which also has the lowest risk number responsible for the color classification this week. Salzburg, Lower Austria and Vienna each fell back to the "Ländle", Styria, and Upper Austria, which were already "yellow" in the previous week.
