The Lungau currently has 573 people infected with the coronavirus per 100,000 inhabitants. The value is important because the Lungau only has around 20,000 inhabitants. With 116 infected people in the past seven days, the incidence is 573. This is by far the worst value of all districts in all of Austria.
In second place is Tennengau with 367 infected people per 100,000 inhabitants, followed by Pongau with 361 infected people per 100,000 inhabitants. Experts have long been puzzling why Salzburg of all places has such high numbers of infections.
Lungau in fifth place for deaths
Salzburg does better in the number of deaths from or with the corona virus: three Styrian districts occupy the worst places. However, with 153 coronavirus deaths per 100,000 inhabitants, the Lungau is in fifth place and thus well ahead in the statistics. All other Salzburg districts are not among the 20 districts with the highest death rates in Austria.
