The Skåne region continues to further evaluate elderly staff for covid-19. Starting on Friday, the increased sampling will be introduced in all Skåne municipalities, having started sneaking in the Kristianstad municipality last week.
Extended sampling does not mean that all personnel are evaluated, but only where it is considered necessary and in case of suspected infection. Last week, around 1,500 people were sampled in the region.
– The important thing is not that x number of tests is carried out, but that it is carried out for the correct reasons. We don’t want to do sampling tests, there must be a goal and it really makes a difference, says Eva Melander, infection control doctor in the Skåne Region.
A total of 110 people found infected with covid-19 have died in Skåne, according to Tuesday’s figures. The number of reported cases amounts to 1,092. At this time, 75 people are treated in hospitals, of which 20 are in intensive care.
