The spread of covid-19 has increased sharply and so also in the country’s nursing homes. Last week, 3,000 cases were registered in elderly care, which is almost twice as many as two weeks earlier, writes Swedish daily newspaper.
– This reflects the large spread of infection in society right now from covid-19. It is worrying that it is approaching levels below the micron level, but at the same time we have good vaccination coverage, says Sara Byfors, head of department at the Public Health Agency, to the newspaper.
However, re-introducing special restrictions in elderly care is not an option right now, according to the Public Health Authority.
