Regional crown restrictions apply through Tuesday of next week. Then the Public Health Agency makes a new decision. But according to the political top of the Skåne Region, the restrictions are likely to remain.

Although a record number of covid cases have been found in Skåne this week, Carl Johan Sonesson sees a certain brilliance.

– The infection rate has decreased, but the number of infected people has increased, he says.

He believes that regional restrictions so far have been good and does not see the need to tighten them further.

Something that makes the situation more difficult than the big spread in spring is that the autumn corona wave runs the risk of coinciding in time with the seasonal flu.

– It’s a much bigger challenge now, says Carl Johan Sonesson (M).

Redirect staff

80 per cent of intensive care units in Skåne are occupied, but according to the regional council, it is possible to double the number of places three and four times by redirecting medical staff from clinics and planned non-emergency operations.

– If it were such a terrible situation, we have the ability to increase, says Carl Johan Sonesson (M).
