    One of the sovereign tasks of the Public Health Service (ÖGD) is also the infection hygiene monitoring of medical facilities in accordance with the Infection Protection Act. The responsible public health department carries out infection hygiene inspections in medical and public facilities and advises on hygiene deficiencies or local outbreaks of infectious diseases.
