The basic advice, according to Hallén, is to have as little physical contact as possible. This applies to both children and adults. Then there are exceptions for certain group activities for children, like sports training.
– At Värmland, we have interpreted the advice of the Swedish Public Health Agency to mean that exceptions may also include other leisure activities. The most important thing is that you think about these events, so follow the advice, keep your distance, and meet as few new people as possible.
Playing with a friend?
Tips that can also be applied to the question of whether your children can play with their friends.
– It is important to think about having as few physical contacts as possible, especially new ones.
So if you hang out with your classmates all day at school, there is less risk of playing with them after school than setting up a play date with a friend you wouldn’t normally know otherwise.
Continuous increase in the spread of infection.
The county and region governing council were invited to a digital press conference for a status report on the pandemic in Värmland. The spread of the infection in Värmland is said to continue to increase, and so far in November even more so than earlier this fall.
Since the general guidelines were tightened in Värmland, slightly less spread of the infection has been observed, but according to the infection control doctor, it is still too early to draw any conclusions from this.
The number of cases is higher among younger and middle-aged people, but the number of cases in younger adolescents and the elderly is increasing.
“Don’t go to the ER for a sample.”
Lena Gjevert, director of health and medical care, described the situation in medical care as “tense.” He said that there is great pressure on medical care, as they also serve patients from regions where the situation is even more pressing than here.
Regarding sampling, Gjevert appealed to those who have taken crown samples to be patient and wait for the test result, which takes about three days to receive, to stay at home until the test result is received, and to do not try to get a sample through the health center or emergency room.
– We see that it has become more common for people who do not have time to take samples to go to the emergency room to take samples, or to call the health center to try to get their test response faster. We call on all those who do not have time to take samples immediately to try to book again as there may be a re-appointment time, not to call and take time in the phone queue at the health center as there they can speed up the test response and keep you from going to the emergency room to have time to take samples because no show.
Encourage everyone to take responsibility
Governor Georg Andrén urged us all to take responsibility for preventing the spread of the infection.
– I’m worried and anxious. There is much more to do when it comes to meeting the general guidelines. Now we must gather forces together. It depends on each one of us.
