First positive tests for coronavirus in Tirol

febr 25 2020

In two suspected cases in Tyrol, the first tests for the coronavirus were positive. Governor Platter: "Probably the suspicion is confirmed"

As Governor G?nther Platter (?VP) confirmed on Tuesday afternoon, there are two Suspected Corona cases in Tyrol. The first tests were positive, but now more have to follow, Platter said: "There is a high probability that these suspected cases will be confirmed."

Platter did not wish to comment on the background to the two suspected cases for the time being. He said he would wait and see if the cases were confirmed. But the probability is high, the governor said, that the contagion happened in Lombardy in Italy. In both patients, the first test was positive, now a second one is taking place.

The two patients were quarantined. The country is now setting up a rapid-test centre to respond quickly to suspected cases.

[h=1]Two cases in Tyrol confirmed[/h] febr 25 2020

In Tyrol, two people have contracted the corona virus. This was confirmed by governor G?nther Platter (?VP) of the APA. A second test was positive. These are two 24-year-old Italians from Lombardy who live in Innsbruck.

It is still unclear where the two people were infected. The two are in any case "not life-threatening", but have only been suffering from fever. The patients had turned to the Tyrol control center and described their symptoms. You are currently isolated in the Innsbruck clinic - more information at tirol.ORF.at .

In future, the BMSGPK will announce the number of examinations carried out so far:

If a suspected case is reported by a health authority, it is immediately tested for the presence of a coronavirus infection. During the day, new suspected cases and test results can cause the number of suspected cases to fluctuate several times.

For this reason and to avoid misunderstandings, the number of tests carried out to date and the number of laboratory-confirmed infections by SARS-CoV-2 will be communicated on the website as soon as the BMSGPK has confirmed results.

Previous tests in Austria ( daily update of the current status at 8 a.m. ): 4734

Confirmed cases, as of March 9, 2020, 8:00 a.m . : 112 cases

Three British skiers have been hospitalized with coronavirus in Austria after contracting a more aggressive strain of the killer bug, reports suggest.

Three man - aged 61, 44 and 49 - had been staying in Italy before going to a busy ski resort in Saalbach in the middle of the winter season.

...
The coronavirus death toll in Italy increased by 133 to 366 yesterday while the number of cases skyrocketed from 1,492 to 7,375.

The bug has killed 3,500 worldwide and has infected more than 100,000.

Dr Richard Greil, who is in charge of the quarantine of the three skiers, said that all the cases seen in the region were coming from Italy, which he described as being 'completely out of control.'

It is widely speculated that Italy has a stronger variant of the virus - known as the 'L' variant - but there is no concrete evidence for this.
