Lisbet Gibson, who is acting director of health and medical care, states that today, just like in recent weeks, only a few people with a covid diagnosis need hospital care, but that the situation may worsen if the Public Health Agency’s forecast turns out to be correct.
It predicts an increase in the number of cases around mid-August.
– You might call it a new wave, but it will probably not be as big as the one we had around New Year, says Lisbet Gibson.
Under control
Region Jämtland Härjedalen considers itself to have the situation under control with regard to the covid situation.
– Unfortunately, we have a certain habit, but what is worrying is that if many people get sick, it also affects our staff, says Lisbet Gibson.
She also says that it is important that those who have cold symptoms stay at home.
– You are even obliged not to spread this disease.
