Anders Nystedt, an infection control physician, issued a press release Saturday about the continued sharp rise in covid-19 in the county.
– It looks grim. About 250 people with covid-19 in two days, which means that we will probably double the number of people with covid-19 this week compared to the previous one, says Anders Nystedt.
Discuss restrictions
Remember that the Halloween weekend party, where the police noticed most of the youth parties this weekend, is not appropriate.
– Instead, we must prioritize life and health. On Monday, I will contact the Public Health Agency and discuss the situation and any restrictions in Norrbotten, says Anders Nystedt in the Norrbotten Region press release.
Nine people are treated in county hospitals for covid-19, of which three are treated in the intensive care unit.
“Very worried”
– I am very worried and my feeling is that now it is like the beginning of March. Those who are infected now are those who may need medical attention and intensive care in just over a week, says Ulf Carlsson, medical director responsible for anesthesia at Corona-IVA in Piteå and more involved in caring for Covid-19 patients than they need intensive care.
– No one who has not been directly involved in the intensive care of patients with covid-19 can understand what this care means. Now everyone must take responsibility and think about their family, relatives and human beings, says Ulf Karlsson in the press release.
