– We have a very high number of cases in the country and it continues to be the case, says Karin Tegmark Wisell at the press conference on Thursday.
Even the deaths and the infected covidias that are treated in intensive care units continue to increase. In the last 24 hours, 58 new deaths have been registered for a total of 7,354.
– The number of new cases will be a consequence of our meeting and meeting in society. What each of us can do now is contribute to reducing the development that we have in the country. By reducing the number of cases, we allow medical care to handle the situation, says Tegmark Wisell.
In the survey As the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency, MSB, regularly reports, almost 90 percent respond that they follow the restrictions. Despite this, the spread of the infection has accelerated in the last two months, at the same time that the Public Health Agency has tightened the general guidelines in several rounds. According to Karin Tegmark Wisell, she notes that much of the spread of infection occurs in the home. Since social contacts with the family cannot be avoided, the measures take longer to take effect.
With the results in hand this fall, should we have had other restrictions?
– Basically there has been advice all the time on how to behave, but as the infection has increased, there have been reasons to adapt the advice and we have done so as the infection has changed and increased.
Is the virus more deceptive than you previously thought?
– Yes, it is more misleading because it has been very difficult to predict the development.
According to Karin Tegmark Wisell A wealth of new knowledge about the virus has been poured in over the fall, including how long the immune system spends in the body. However, it is still not enough to draw conclusions about antibody levels and the type of antibodies.
What is the most important thing to take with you in the spring?
– That it can go very fast when the spread changes and extremely fast when the infection increases. There seems to be a fundamental infection in society that remains at a low level until conditions somehow become more favorable, that there are several interacting factors. The increase has been extremely fast, we did not expect it. We believed in a slightly slower process.
