Angelica works in the Skåne region with seriously ill patients.
Last Sunday, she and two colleagues went to the Nova shopping center in Lund to remind people that everyone has a responsibility to prevent the spread of infection.
The same shopping center that Morgan Johansson, Minister of Justice and Migration (S), visited on the second day to buy a delayed Christmas present.
Dressed in work clothes, visors and mouth guards, they held up placards with the message "Healthcare fights when you shop" and "Is the Christmas present worth other people's health?", Something that the newspaper Kvällsposten was the first to report on.
"Do not want to point out a scapegoat"
There were visitors who turned and left the mall when they saw the nurses at the parking lot, but all the more walked past them and in to shop.
- It's a shame.
I drive past Nova Lund on the way to work.
Despite the request from the Swedish Public Health Agency, the number of visitors does not seem to be thinning, unfortunately.
I think people think "I'm just going to do this a little bit fast" and I really think they think they should keep their distance.
But when everyone thinks that way, many visitors quickly become at risk of spreading the infection.
What do you think about a minister choosing to shop at the sale?
- Of course it's not good.
Now I do not want to point out this minister, we would like to look for scapegoats because it is easier than dealing with their own bad conscience.
I think instead we should ask ourselves: "What do I do to reduce the spread of infection?".
"Finest gift we can give others"
Angelica believes that those who do not work in healthcare and do not see patients in the risk group have a harder time motivating themselves to follow the restrictions.
She works with seriously ill people who have already been isolated for a long time.
- It is terrible to have to tell them that they must continue to be isolated.
But the best gift we can give others right now is to stay at home.
