Seven employees and six prisoners at the Innsbruck prison are infected with Corona. Stricter measures apply from now on. Nationwide there were 9936 vaccinations carried out.
The insidious corona virus does not stop at anyone – not even in front of the prison walls of the Innsbruck prison. Corona alarm has been there for a few days – not for the first time, as the “Tiroler Krone” has already shown. Entire block isolated “Currently seven employees and six inmates have tested positive for the corona virus. Due to this infection, there are 39 cells in quarantine, ”said Christina Ratz, spokeswoman for the Ministry of Justice, at the request of the“ Krone ”. According to a letter available to the editors, an entire block is isolated. In-house companies such as the car repair shop and the locksmith’s shop are also said to be affected. Further PCR tests are scheduled for the end of November and the beginning of December. With stricter rules against virus spread The letter also states that stricter rules currently apply in the “Ziegelstadl”. Among other things, the isolated inmates were strictly separated from the non-isolated inmates, for example when they were outdoors or when showering. In addition, the sanitary facilities must be disinfected after showering. The obligation to wear the FFP2 mask for everyone, hand disinfection and a minimum distance are the order of the day anyway. “3405 employees and 6531 inmates vaccinated” What about the vaccination rate in Austria’s prisons? “As of November 23, the penal system and measures implemented had 9936 vaccinations carried out so far, of which 3405 were employees and 6531 inmates. With around 4,000 employees (rounded) and a current occupant coverage of around 7,600, that would be a vaccination rate of around 85 percent, “says the spokeswoman. And she adds:” The calculation is based on the vaccinations carried out by the prisons themselves. The actual vaccination rate is therefore higher. In addition, the number of pavements can change daily – also significantly – due to layoffs and deliveries, and thus also the vaccination rate, since unvaccinated people may be admitted and vaccinated people released. ”There is no compulsory vaccination for employees or inmates. However, educational work is being carried out and Minister Alma Zadić appeals to all members of the judiciary by means of an appeal on the intranet to be vaccinated. 48 positive inmates in the Klagenfurt prisonThe Klagenfurt prison is in an exceptional state. 48 prisoners tested positive for the corona virus there, and some officials were also hit. It is the first time that the virus has arrived, emphasizes Lieutenant Colonel Harald Streicher.
