The spread of the infection continues to increase in Skåne. In recent days, there has unfortunately been a substantial increase in covid-19 in the elderly.
The number of nursing homes where infection occurs has also increased. At the same time, the number of hospital admissions continues to rise.
– My appeal to all Scanians is not to be part of the spread of the infection. The person it infects can, in turn, infect an older person. The person it infects can, in turn, infect a nursing assistant in elderly care or medical care, says Eva Melander, an infection control physician in the Skåne region.
Now it is Halloween and Halloween.
– It is possible to visit cemeteries, memorial groves and cemeteries. But avoid the crowds and keep your distance. If possible, avoid taking public transportation there. With the current spread of the infection, this is definitely not the time to host parties or dinners and celebrate with people other than the ones you usually hang out with, Eva Melander says.
