The infection is spreading rapidly in the Stockholm region, where the number of covid cases has more than doubled in two weeks. From 254 new cases to 539, TT reports.
To overcome the spread of the infection, Stockholm now plans to introduce a relative quarantine for adults. Even if both parents are quarantined, the children should continue to attend school and preschool as usual.
Practical problems
There are still many practical problems. For example, how can you pick up children from kindergarten if you are quarantined yourself.
– You have to fix it somehow. I do not have good answers on how to do it in practice, but it is possible that I can agree with the preschool staff to go out and pick up the child or something similar, says to TT Maria Rotzén, interim doctor of infection control in the Region from Stockholm.
– In any case, it will be something better than what we had before, even if you have to accompany your child to preschool, he says.
Receive carrier assignment
The plan is that the family members receive the transportation subsidy and are at home with the sick person. Family members should also be asked to get tested before coming out of quarantine, even if they don’t have symptoms.
The quarantine will likely apply for a week.
The Stockholm region does not plan to change the permission to visit nursing homes, which will take effect on October 1.
– We know that the spread of infection occurs at home or in the local environment and by doing this we believe that we can at least get some of the infection out of society, says Maria Rotzén.
She notes that the increased spread of infection is a clear trend, meaning one must be more vigilant and “remember that this is not over yet.”
