Could you have been infected with covid-19 but show no symptoms? So you should avoid social contacts for 14 days if you live in Skåne. But not if you live in Gävleborg. Swedish regions give different instructions, reports Swedish radio Ekot.

To what extent should you avoid social contacts if you are at risk of being infected with covid-19? Different regions give different advice. Stock Photography.Image: Naina Helén Jåma / TT

The Skåne, Stockholm and Jönköping County regions encourage people without symptoms to skip leisure activities and avoid business, among other things. But in the Gävleborg Region information sheet for those who may have been infected, it does not say that social contacts should be avoided and in the Västerbotten Region it only says that contacts should be aware of symptoms.

According to the infection control doctor Lars Vesslén in the Gävleborg region, it is generally enough to follow the general advice to keep your distance.

– We do not repeat this general instruction, he tells the radio.

Lisa Labbé Sandelin, an infection control physician in the Kalmar County region, is now asking for something similar to the national infection control magazine that exists for those who are found to be infected.

– I would see that it would be a great value if we have a national magazine for exposed contacts, and I think that work is being done on it precisely to get away from the fact that it is different, he tells Ekot.
