The elderly have survived the infection, that’s why Skåne’s crown figures stand out

The crown figures for Skåne stand out. So far, only 78 deaths have been recorded, of which one third in care for the elderly. Currently, only 26 out of 312 nursing homes in Skåne are affected by the infection.
This is significantly less than for Stockholm, Gothenburg and Copenhagen.
However, there is a great risk that the situation in Skåne will deteriorate rapidly.
