The actual number of infected people is estimated to be more than double that of the public announcement.
The Austrian government conducted a virus test on more than 1,500 randomly selected people to estimate the number of people infected with the new coronavirus in the country. Has announced that it is expected to be more than twice as large. The Austrian government believes these studies will serve as a European model for estimating the number of infected people.
To estimate the number of people infected with the new coronavirus, the Austrian government estimates the number of people infected with the virus from 1 to 6 children aged 0 to 94 living in the country from 1 to 6 this month. A PCR test was conducted in collaboration with the Red Cross and other organizations to check for the presence or absence of, and the results were announced on the 10th.

Austria has a population of about 8.9 million, and the government estimates that the most likely figure was that about 28,500 were infected at this time.

In Austria, the number of newly confirmed cases of infection is declining this month, but science minister Fasman said, "Below 1%, the immunity is still low in few immunized populations, and infection will grow again. This is the first such study on continental Europe and will be a model for the future. "
