Assessing SARS-CoV-2 Prevalence in Austria with Sample Surveys in 2020 - A Report
Since the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic a main metric is the amount of infected people at any given time. We present a valid assessment of the population acutely infected by SARS-CoV-2 in Austria at three distinct points in time: April, May and November 2020. The population of these sample surveys includes people aged 16 or older living in private households.Participants were tested with PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests using nose-throat swabs. Based on these tests, it is assumed that the number of acute SARS-CoV-2 infections was below 11,000 individuals, or 0.15\% of the target population, in April, below 6,000, in May and below 265,000 in November (i.e. the upper limit of the 95\% confidence interval). In November a comparison with the Austrian Epidemiological Reporting System reveals that more than estimated 50\% of acute infections remain undetected by the official reporting obligations.

The Austrian Journal of Statistics is an open-access journal (without any fees) with a long history and is published approximately quarterly by the Austrian Statistical Society. Its general objective is to promote and extend the use of statistical methods in all kind of theoretical and applied disciplines. The Austrian Journal of Statistics is indexed in many data bases, such as Scopus (by Elsevier), Web of Science - ESCI by Clarivate Analytics (formely Thompson & Reuters), DOAJ, Scimago, and many more. The current estimated impact factor (via Publish or Perish) is 0.775, see HERE, or even more indices HERE. Austrian Journal of Statistics ISNN number is 1026597X Original papers and review articles in English will be published in the Austrian Journal of Statistics if judged consistently with these general aims. All papers will be refereed. Special topics sections will appear from time to time. Each section will have as a theme a specialized area of statistical application, theory, or methodology. Technical notes or problems for considerations under Shorter Communications are also invited. A special section is reserved for book reviews.
