We have looked at an average mortality rate over ten weeks 2017-2019 and compared with the corresponding period last year.
Among the 24 care homes around the country where excess mortality can be found in 2020 are Borgvalla, Stattenahemmet - and Åbrädden, which SVT Nyheter Helsingborg previously reported on.
Jan Bleckert is chief physician for primary care in Skåne.
It is the doctors there who are responsible for the medical care in the nursing homes.
He has no explanation for why some nursing homes are hit harder than others.
- We simply do not know.
It is the same routines and restrictions that apply everywhere.
But there has been a lot of discussion about super spreaders and people who are sick without symptoms, he says.

Jan Bleckert does not receive any signals that protective equipment is being neglected.

We do not move between departments, she says.
