The social spread of covid-19 continues in Skåne. This carries an increased risk of infection entering healthcare and care for the elderly.
– All age groups are affected, but in recent weeks the increase in covid-19 among older Scanians is particularly serious. Therefore, I cannot stress enough how important it is for all of us to help protect our elderly by following the strictest general advice, says Eva Melander, infection control physician in the Skåne Region.
Therefore, everyone should ask themselves: “How can I contribute?” Do I have to go to the city or to the shopping center, where there are usually a lot of people, do I have to meet old friends this weekend or go to the party I am invited to? Only if everyone takes additional responsibility now can the spread of the infection be slowed down.
