The Stockholm region has so far 58,154 covid-19 cases and 2,565 deaths from the virus.
– It is a tragedy for family and friends and the death toll does not seem to be decreasing, quite the contrary. I don’t think much more needs to be said to understand how serious the infection is spreading right now, Björn Eriksson, health and healthcare director for the Stockholm region, said during a press conference Thursday.
Björn Eriksson’s appeal to those who have been ill:
– As long as the disease does not affect anyone close, you can take it a little lightly, said Björn Eriksson and then made an unusual appeal:
– I would like to ask everyone who has had this disease and knows what it is like, and the healthcare personnel who see it almost every day, to go out and tell as many people as possible about this implacable disease. Therefore, we should better understand how important it is to follow the advice of the Public Health Agency to the letter, said Björn Eriksson and continued:
– Keep doing it even if it seems sad to us. Even though we have been doing it for a long time. And to avoid taking those little shortcuts or skipping them for a while, that’s when this infection can spread and it is precisely in the contacts that this infection spreads.
34 of those killed in the Stockholm region are under the age of 50
Björn Eriksson urges all residents of the region “who may think this is not so dangerous” to assimilate the stories of the coronavirus from health personnel and those who have been ill.
– It is also time to break the myth that if you feel a little young and alert, there is no greater danger. I would like to point out that there are now 34 people under the age of 50 in the Stockholm region, who have died from covid-19. And no one is safe. Of course, we know that the most fragile are the elderly and those with underlying diseases. But it can affect anyone and is unforgiving when a serious illness is contracted.
