"It's on the verge of criminal"

His mother Ingalill was found to be uninfected at Vallehemmet. 16 days later she died. No one knows if corona was involved - because no test was taken at Vallehemmet. However, it had been established at the hospital that she did not have corona before she was moved.

Jan-Åke and his wife Ingrid are most worried about Ingalill's 89-year-old husband and themselves, 70 plus, and others who stayed with her at the severely affected area on June 26 when Ingalill passed away.

Despite their repeated questions, both on June 10 and June 26, the message was always that there was no infection at Vallehemmet, the couple say.

- Here they go out with us to take care of ourselves, we who are a little older. We must protect ourselves, stay away, we must not meet our grandchildren. That's how you get into this. It is on the verge of criminal, says Ingrid Tengelin.

- I do not understand that you should not inform. I have heard their opinions that the elderly are worried. But what do you think everyone else will be, says Jan-Åke.

Skara municipality's responsible officials and politicians have defended the decision not to disclose information other than to relatives of those found infected.

- I regret if it has happened, but we have a secrecy to follow, says Gunilla Druve Jansson (C), chairman of the care committee.

As SVT has reported, there are divided opinions about whether Skara municipality is doing the right thing. Henrik Nyberg, with a mother in another residence, has appealed the secrecy to the appellate court.

The expert on the principle of openness Nils Funcke has previously told SVT that Skara municipality is doing wrong.
