Anders Nystedt believes that the county's low figures have meant that the county residents may have started to relax and lower the guard too soon.
According to him, the infection tracking measures that have been taken so far have been effective in keeping down the number of infection cases, but that it becomes increasingly difficult as the cases increase.
- With more and more cases, we risk uncontrolled spread.
Parties, travel and work despite the symptoms behind the reasons
Among the reasons for the increased spread of infection, he mentions parties and travel both domestically and abroad.
But one reason makes him even more confused.
- There has been a spread through people who worked despite showing symptoms.
The Norwegian and Finnish borders can be closed again
He emphasizes that the figures are still relatively low, but that they are also a trend that you want to reverse.
The increased number of cases may also affect other places.
At the moment, Norrbotten residents are welcome in both Finland and Norway, but the thresholds are low, and the borders could be closed as a result.
- Finland in particular has a wolf's eye on us, so it could be so, says Anders Nystedt about the risks of the borders being closed again.
