On Thursday, infection control came Västra Götaland's weekly report for the covid-19 situation in the region.

- We still have a spread in society, but at a slightly lower level now the last month compared to the month before, says Peter Ulleryd, deputy infection control doctor in the Västra Götaland region.

There is also a decline in the number of older people who test positive for covid-19. On the other hand, infection control in the region sees a significant increase in the number of cases among young adults in particular, between 20-29 years. Something that is also noticeable at the national level.

Theory: Believe that the danger is over

To limit the spread of infection in the group, it is important to continue to keep your distance, wash your hands often and stay home at the slightest symptom.

- I think most people know these tips. But then there are some, possibly among the younger ones, who may have got a little tired of these pieces of advice and think that the danger is over, and that is a mistake, says Peter Ulleryd.

 He also wants to encourage those who have symptoms to test for covid-19.

- In Västra Götaland, we now have very good accessibility for people to get tested and I think you should take advantage of that.
