Crowd politicians respond to criticism of the covid center's secrecy

SVT News West was able to tell on Thursday that 11 of the 30 residents at Vallehemmet died in covid-19 when the infection raged at its worst there from the end of May to the end of June. According to care manager Pernilla Magnusson, it turned out that the majority of staff and residents were infected.

Nevertheless, the municipality has not told concerned relatives at the accommodation in Skara municipality. Although many have asked about the infection where their relatives live, only relatives of those infected have been informed.

- We must remember that there are individuals who live in these homes and who want privacy and privacy, says Gunilla Druve Jansson (C).

Nils Funcke, expert on the Privacy Act, tells SVT that Skara is wrong when referring to patient privacy. According to him, it applies to individuals, not groups.

Henrik and Cecilia Nyberg have appealed Skara's secrecy to the chamber court after they tried in vain to find out if the two who were isolated at their mother-in-law's residence in Skara were hit by covid-19.
