With 2461 new infections, a maximum was again reached yesterday in Upper Austria. As reported, the number of infections in old people’s homes is also increasing – especially among employees, 132 are currently positive. In order to increase the willingness to vaccinate in this area, Social Councilor Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer (VP) is planning specific measures. There should also have been a conversation with Primary Bernd Lamprecht yesterday.
Another high value, however, lets the state government breathe a sigh of relief: The vaccination numbers are increasing significantly. Almost 7000 vaccination appointments were booked yesterday. For comparison: two weeks ago around 500 vaccination appointments were taken. The range of vaccinations is once again significantly increased, including with registration-free vaccination days in medical practices (more on this at www.aekooe.at and at ooe-impft.at).
Governor Thomas Stelzer (VP) said yesterday, Severin Mayr, Greens’ club chairman, said: “Upper Austria is notoriously late in fighting the pandemic because the blue coalition partner is obviously too late Raises the mood against the measures taken by its own coalition. ” As reported, LH-Deputy explained Manfred Haimbuchner (FP), he sees the measures “extremely critical”, and FP MPs described 2.5G as “nonsense”. Provincial Councilor Birgit Gerstorfer (SP) once again criticized the fact that the state coalition did not appear unanimously. One should take an example from Vienna and Burgenland, says Gerstorfer: “There the governments do not send contradicting messages to the population either.” In addition, action was taken quickly in Vienna: “I would also like to see such prudence in Upper Austria and from the federal government.”
