The burden on hospitals in Sweden is increasing markedly and many corona patients experience complications afterward.
117 new corona deaths in Sweden, show the latest corona figures. The number of coronary deaths in Sweden is now 6,798.

– We still have a rebound. Obviously, we are looking at a widespread spread of the infection, said state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell at Tuesday’s press conference.
– We have an increase in all age groups, although obviously it is the older ones who best protect themselves, Tegnell continued.
More and more intensive care patients
He noted that the numbers of intensive care patients are increasing markedly, as are death rates in Sweden.
– For the first time since this spring, more than half of the country’s intensive care patients, 51 percent, are patients with covid-19, said Thomas Lindén, department head of the National Board of Health and Welfare, in the press conference.
The burden on all hospital care is increasing, with different rates in different regions, according to Lindén.
In addition to crown patients in the intensive care unit, there are currently 1802 crown patients in other wards.
See serious complications later
– Many of those who have recovered from Covid-19 experience complications, some of them serious, and this is not reserved for those who have been seriously ill. More knowledge about treatment and rehabilitation is needed here, Lind said.
– We must investigate more and systematize experiences if we want to understand and help people with this. It seems that you don’t have to be seriously ill in the acute phase to have serious difficulties later. It also affects those with a milder acute course, Lind emphasized, saying that the experience so far is that children and young people can also be affected by serious complications after the acute phase.
– Europe may have reached the top
– We have possibly reached a plateau at the international level. Some countries have a steep upward curve, while others go downhill. There are also big differences in Europe. Europe still seems to have reached the top this time, Tegnell said as he began to look beyond the borders.
ECDC figures for Tuesday show an internal figure of 634.3 for Sweden. There are infection rates per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days. The corresponding figure for Norway is 128.8. Croatia now has the highest infection rate in the European Infection Control Agency summary. Here, 1,053 cases of infection have been reported per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days.
The capital Stockholm is one of the worst affected capitals in Europe. Only Madrid is worse on a list of seven cities.

Take advice from the crown for Swedish schoolchildren: follow Norway’s lead
New tips for the little ones
Earlier in the day, Swedish public health authorities created new infection control councils. Now, younger children in families with coronary heart disease must also stay away from school.
The advice also applies to children and students who are asymptomatic and who live with someone who has been diagnosed with Covid-19. Previously, the recommendation only applied to older students, such as upper secondary school students, but now children are also included in kindergarten and primary school.
The Public Health Authority writes on their website that this will have no decisive effect on the spread of the infection in schools or in society in general, but that they change the advice to create peace and quiet for those who work in schools.
