Avoid all social contexts and only meet those with whom you live.
This is the simple but tough message for the inhabitants of three regions where infections and hospital cases are increasing at a worrying rate.
– People do not see the high death rates and think that they are calm, it is not, says Maria Rotzén Östlund, an infection control doctor in Stockholm.
Uppsala and Skåne have already introduced special local councils for their residents. During the press conference on Thursday, the news came that three more regions: Stockholm, Östergötland and Västra Götaland before the municipalities.
This is after the spread of the infection, but the number of cases being treated in hospitals is also increasing.
According to Maria Rotzén Östlund, an acting infection control physician in the Stockholm region, people have started to relax too much.
– I think it has to do with several things: it’s dark, it’s cold and we move inwards. We may have suffered from crown fatigue and want it to end. We all want that, there is nothing funny about this pandemic.
You can limit the number of visitors to a store.
With the new stricter advice introduced today, to simply socialize inside your home and completely avoid indoor environments like stores and gyms, we hope that the inhabitants of the regions will return to the way they were this spring.
– I think you were a little more confident, and then you felt great sympathy for those who got sick and for those who worked in the health sector. Now you don’t see the high mortality rates and you think he’s calm. It is not. We want to stop this now, says Maria Rotzén Östlund.
The advice also means that businesses and businesses must take responsibility for ensuring that congestion does not occur.
– You may limit the number of people who can enter a store, says Maria Rotzén Östlund.
Tegnell: can limit the crowds
Failure to follow advice is not associated with any punishment. But Anders Tegnell says he can see they have an effect.
– The signs from Uppsala are quite positive that it seems to have an impact.
The notice is valid as of Wednesday and for the next three weeks. But according to Tegnell, you can be relevant with more measures if you don’t see that the spread of the infection is starting to go in the right direction.
– You can look at different parts of society. You can limit the number of people that can be in crowds to even more than 50.
– It may be necessary to close parts of public transport and close certain businesses. And perhaps it is even clearer that you have to work from home. So much remains to be done.
