The number of patients treated in intensive care for covid-19 now stands at 31. This means a sharp increase, compared to what it was just a month ago, when only 16 patients were treated in IVA for covid-19 and three days earlier , when the number was reduced to twelve.
“We can see a slow increase in hospitalized patients and intensive care. This is expected to be based on the increasing spread of the infection in society that has been reported by the Swedish Public Health Agency. At this time, we do not receive any reports from the regions on a significant impact on health care due to covid-19. However, there is greater concern for the future in most regions compared to what has been reported during August and September, “writes Johanna Sandwall, chief of emergency preparedness for the National Board of Health and Welfare, in a comment to TT.
Today’s figures, however, cannot be compared to when it was at its worst in the spring, in late April, when more than 550 patients received intensive care for the coronavirus.
The new restrictions are voluntary, listen to Bitte Bråstad’s explanation.
