Corona-Dashboard
- The data for Austria come from Ministry of Health (BMSGPK) and from Ministry of the Interior (BMI) as well as from the Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES). The data is updated daily as soon as the current case numbers from Crisis management sent to the Ministry of the Interior in the Operations and Coordination Center (EKC) and published by the latter. This usually happens between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. AGES obtains its data from the epidemiological register of residents (EMS). The EMS is the official register in which the district authorities and laboratories enter. Entries can be delayed, especially in the morning. The figures can therefore differ from those of the ministries.
- The international data come from the US Johns Hopkins University. The numbers are updated once a day – this usually happens between midnight and 6 a.m.
