According to Anders Tegnell, a state epidemiologist at the Public Health Agency, it is clear that there is a decrease in the number of people receiving intensive care. But those who are hospitalized also have a very long time, with a median of at least 2-3 weeks.
– But there are fewer cases, but again there are big differences in different parts of the country, says Anders Tegnell during the press conference on Friday.
Anders Tegnell says who heard stories of people who were completely shut down and didn’t come out for fear of being infected. According to Anders Tegnell, there is no need to close.
– We hear a lot about older people who don’t feel good with isolation and all the good examples you can have contacts with are good. Even if you cannot hug your grandchildren, you can, for example, meet them in the garden.

Taha Alexandersson, Deputy The crisis preparedness manager of the National Board of Health and Welfare says that the number of critically ill people served in VAT continues to decline. Last Friday, it was reported that, after high numbers, they had finally reached a level where fewer than 500 people with intensive care covid-19 were treated. Now it is less than 400.
– This is the first time since week 13 and week 14, the weeks we receive the most requests for support, says Taha Alexandersson.
No region has reported any increase in hospital care in the last five days, conversely, reductions are reported.
– But it’s an uneven load. The lower the capacity you have from the start, the faster you can reach the ceiling. There we can support with respirators and measurements, says Taha Alexandersson.
Thomas Lindén, head of department On the National Board of Health and Welfare, he says that both intensive care and rehabilitation themselves are unusually long when it comes to covid-19. He says that rehabilitation capacity should therefore also be increased and that various knowledge tools have been launched around this.
According to Svante Werger, special adviser to the Swedish Social Protection and Emergency Preparedness Agency (MSB), a new opinion poll conducted shows that 40 percent of Swedes have not strengthened their homes’ preparedness for future crises. More than half respond that they have done or plan to do so. The Swedish attitude towards Sweden’s strategy to deal with covid-19 has also been investigated.
– In the investigation, he defends the question of whether people feel that it is a reasonable responsibility that the authorities have placed on the public. More than 60 percent consider it reasonable.
