A new COVID-19 analysis tool that estimates which districts in Austria could become coronavirus hotspots has been launched by Imperial.
The website tool, uses reported cases and deaths to estimate the probability any of the 94 political districts of Austria will become COVID-19 ‘hotspots’ in the next three weeks.
The team behind the website, the Imperial College COVID19 Response Team, define a hotspot as a political district with more than 200 cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 of the population per week.

The tool will update its projections daily
The site - which will be updated daily - currently highlights hotspots such as Tamsweg, Lienz and Murau with more than 600 reported cases per 100,000 population in the past week (up to 6 December 2020).
