Covid Cases In Austria: Tracking The Numbers

Austria has seen a rise in Covid-19 cases, with the seven-day infection rate rising to 1,092 per 100,000 people. This has led to the Austrian government threatening a lockdown for the unvaccinated.

At the time of the rise in infection rates, Austria's vaccination rate was lower than in large parts of Europe, with a little more than 65% of the total population having received one dose of the vaccine and just 62.2% fully vaccinated. The low vaccination rate, combined with the rising number of cases, led to concerns about the strain on the country's healthcare system.

The Austrian government's response to the rising infection rate was met with protests, mostly from right-wing extremist groups. However, the government stood firm in its decision to implement restrictions to curb the spread of the virus.

The rise in cases was not isolated to Austria, with other European countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic also experiencing increases in Covid-19 cases and reintroducing restrictions.
