Check elderly housing in Kungsbacka and Attendo Nissastrand in Halmstad are housing where more than twice as many have died during the last ten weeks of the year in comparison with the average for the same period during the three previous years.
How many of the victims affected by corona do not want to reveal to those responsible for housing with reference to ethical reasons.
Attendo states that such is only communicated to relatives, the municipality and the health service.
"Misleading to look at such a short period"
The person in charge at Kolla Äldreboende, on the other hand, emphasizes that not everyone had covid-19 who died at the accommodation during the period.
- Many who move in with us are old and fragile and it can be misleading to look at such a short period.
The number of deaths can vary from month to month or year to year, says Ann Freed, acting operations manager, in an email to SVT.
The national average for excess mortality in nursing homes during the period is 19 percent.
Check nursing homes have an excess mortality rate of 200 percent.
Both representatives of Attendo and Vardaga, which runs Kolla nursing home, have declined to participate in an interview.
The regional manager for Vardaga, Gertrud Öjetoft, refers to the answers she gave in an interview before Christmas about the situation at Kolla nursing home and announces that she has nothing new to say.
In an email she writes:
“We have had a major outbreak of covid-19 at the accommodation and we work completely according to the routines that the Public Health Agency and the region have instructed us.
We have plenty of protective equipment.
Same thing with testing.
We try to isolate those who are infected, but there are challenges with that as well because many can be demented. ”
In the clip, you hear what Vardaga's boss had to say in a taped interview in December. But first, an anonymous employee tells how she perceived the situation at the same time. The voice is exchanged.
