At present, the Public Health Agency recommends that people who have been in areas where the corona virus is to contact the health care by phone only if you have symptoms such as cough and fever.

According to Anders Tegnell, there is currently no evidence to suggest that anyone who has been in areas where the virus is located should isolate themselves.

- What we know now and what we know about the corona virus means that we do not have to recommend people to take such restrictive measures.

Not enough reports

China's health minister Ma Xiaowei said this weekend that the corona virus is contagious even during the incubation period, ie the period between a person being infected and the disease breaking out. But according to Anders Tegnell, there are not enough reports of the virus spreading during the incubation period.

- There is only one study that indicates that this is so, but there is very little data and there is only confirmed from one person, he says.

Could be changed

At the same time, the Public Health Authority is monitoring the development of the virus and the World Health Organization's WHO tasks. Anders Tegnell says the recommendations may change.

- We must have great respect for the situation to change, but we cannot respond to all the information. Then you have to change if there is important data.
