Coronavirus care statistical screening system

Innovative response

All owners of nursing homes report daily Corona statistics to the province of Styria. These reports enable the Province of Styria to identify any hotspots of corona cases in nursing homes at an early stage. Corona cases are also tracked for the staff of the care providers in order to detect any upcoming staff shortage at an early stage.

Specific issues addressed and anticipated impact

This management system of data allows the government to have as up-to-date information on nursing home outbreaks as possible - a type of data which can be difficult to obtain given the decentralised and distributed nature of nursing homes.
