On Wednesday morning, the Skåne Region held a press conference on the COVID-19 situation. Regional Director Alf Jönsson seemed unusually concerned.
– It is beginning to be a time for reflection, the press conference began by saying.
– The reason for this is that we are seeing an increase in the number of infected people in the region.
And that’s not because we are testing more.
– It seems that we do not really follow the guidelines, compared to this spring and summer, says Alf Jönsson.
His theory is that the infection has increased because more people are now back in their workplaces, schools are running, and stores are full.
– Come on, Scanians, now we are taking new steps in this. Now the indoor season begins. Help us stick to this, he says.
“Help us hold on to this”
However, according to Alf Jönsson, the further spread of the infection has not increased the burden of healthcare in the region. Three people are receiving intensive care in Skåne and another twelve people with established covid-19 are being treated at the hospital, according to figures from Tuesday, according to TT.
Eva Melander, an infection control doctor in the Skåne region, says that an average of 60 cases are diagnosed a day in the region.
There are almost as many as in early summer.
– But the peak can’t be compared to June because we didn’t have as much sampling then, he says.
But he also urges the people of Skåne to take the crown threat seriously.
– It is not possible to live as usual. We must prevent the spread of infections.
In a general national situation on how the Swedish people comply with the recommendations of the Public Health Agency, Skåne is currently deviating with a clear deterioration in recent weeks. Write Sydsvenskan.
– There are good conditions to follow national recommendations. But people are neglecting more and more. People have gotten tired of the crown, Fredrik Kristell, crisis management manager at Skåne county administrative board, tells the newspaper.
