– There is still a large number of people who enter every day to receive care with VAT, continues.
Sweden is in more than 70 deaths per day on average.
– The disease is still actively spreading and we have a lot of new cases every day and a lot of deaths, says Karin Tegmark-Wisell.
The Public Health Authority has investigated public morbidity in society as measured by other viral infections, says Tegmark-Wisell.
– We see that when we present advice and recommendations on distance, greater hygiene and distance, the appearance of influenza appeared, the same happens with the RS virus, she says.
A sample that The authority performed shows that 0.9 percent of Sweden’s population and 2.3 percent of Stockholmers had covid-19 during week 17.
– This does not say anything about the appearance of active diseases in individual groups, of course, it can be greater. This is a sample and average.
National Health and Welfare Board emergency preparedness manager Johanna Sandwall talks about the state of health care.
“We have a severely tense but fairly stable position in intensive care in Sweden at the moment,” he says.
The number of hospitalized intensive care units with covid-19 is currently 439 and the number of hospitalized patients is 1,687, outside of intensive care, according to Sandwall.
“We still have about 30 percent of available capacity,” she says.
The Public Health Authority receives a question about how close Stockholm is to obtaining batch immunity.
– We want to wait for the data that we hope to obtain next week before making an evaluation. Our estimates have been that we have around 20 percent immunity in April-May. But these are just evaluations, says Karin Tegmark-Wisell.
The Public Health Authority has previously said that a third of Stockholmers may have been infected on May 15 and are asked if that assessment persists.
– We haven’t been able to add the new figures to the model, but that doesn’t seem unreasonable, says Tegmark-Wisell.
WHO recently said Preliminary studies from different countries show that a relatively small part of the total population has so far developed antibodies against the virus.
– Regarding symptoms or not related to the disease, our Stockholm study showed that all people with detected viruses had some type of symptoms, so the proportion of those who do not have symptoms but also have the disease, we do not believe that be so extensive. However, in relation to the disease, it is possible that it has not yet started to have symptoms and then may have virus levels, says Tegmark-Wisell about it.
– We continue to maintain that there is a small proportion of the disease that is asymptomatic, but we must still take it into account.
