It was on Sunday that two patients, who were cared for in the infection operations at Skåne University Hospital in Malmö, were suspected of carrying the virus. This is because they have been traveling in the risk area and because they suffered from respiratory symptoms
- We followed the well-established routines we have in cases of this kind. The patients were isolated and samples were sent for analysis. The results showed that it was not a coronavirus, says Birgitta Holmgren, assistant infection control physician at Region Skåne.
Healthcare urges anyone who has traveled and been to Wuhan in Hubei Province, China, who within two weeks becomes ill with respiratory infection to call health information 1177. There, the patient is further guided into and alerted to the patient who enters the examination room directly without meeting others.
