Covid-19 self-test kit.
The opportunity for self-assessments will be expanded, the region writes in a press release.
The region urges citizens to carry out tests to detect the slightest symptoms.
In Skåne, a total of 4,812 infected people have been found, with 67 more cases found since yesterday.
After the Skåne Region issued the call for tests to detect the mildest symptoms, the demand for self-tests increased considerably and therefore it is currently difficult to find a schedule for pick-up from pharmacies.
Therefore, testing capacity will increase during the week in the Skåne Region, the Skåne Region writes in a press release.
– I fully understand the frustration that many Scanians express at not being able to obtain a test kit quickly. At the same time, I am grateful that so many are taking to heart our call for testing for the slightest symptoms and we are now working hard to ensure that everyone in need can get tested quickly, said Pia Lundbom, Health Director. and medical care, in the region’s press release.
