These include, for example, sampling tubes, filters for anesthetists, ECG electrodes and mixers for antibiotics.

Earlier this week, it was stated that 35 surgeries would be canceled during Monday. But during Sunday, the Dalarna region states that there will be 42 operations that are canceled, 25 at Falu laser and 17 at Mora laser.
