Now the number of infected is up to 150 people per day, double compared to a few weeks ago.
At the same time, more and more patients are being tested, and right now 13 percent of those being tested are positive.
– The increase in cases cannot be explained by a larger sampling because more of those who test themselves turn out to have covid -19, says Mikael Köhler in a press release.
That the infection is increasing can also be seen in special homes, hospital care and that more people seek care for covid-19.
“It could end badly”
The number of positive test results reflects the spread of the infection with a two-week delay, according to Fredrik Settergren, director of Close Care and Health.
– Now everyone must take strict city councils seriously, if you don’t want to get even worse, he says.
Mikael Köhler goes even further on his call:
– The municipalities must be followed as if they were teams. Otherwise they can end badly, he says.
Stronger advice
The region is in talks with the Swedish Public Health Agency about introducing new, stricter local councils.
– We are considering it carefully, and in that case it may arrive at the end of this week because that is when we have planned the talks with the Public Health Agency, says Mikael Köhler to SVT.
Point out that it can be a tough winter.
– The need for care may be greater than last spring.
