Tracking infections also requires samples to be taken from those who may have been infected, according to the critic. Stock Photography.
The Swedish model, which means that covid patients themselves largely have to take responsibility for tracking infections, is criticized, SVT reports.
The model may be in conflict with the Communicable Diseases Act, according to Peet Tüll, former head of the Communicable Diseases Unit at the National Board of Health and Welfare. She participated in the drafting of the current Infection Control Law.
– Urging patients to monitor infections themselves is not following the Infection Control Act, Peet Tüll tells SVT.
He thinks that it is good for the infected person to establish contacts himself, but it is also necessary that the infection control doctor has control over the infected.
– If only the patient is handling this, and there is no one responsible for keeping this together, then you don’t know who the patients have met with and if samples are taken from close contacts. It’s a problem if you want to prevent the spread, says Peet Tüll.
