The whole house where the infection site is located has had problems in the past. The house has a flat roof and has had problems with leaks since the 80's. Over the years, several renovations have been carried out, most recently in 2017, but the flat roof has remained.

One reason for the problem is believed to be that there are large layers of ice on the roof, which has caused wells to become clogged and then it has started to leak.

- It's a flat roof and it's not optimal. Last, it ran through the window, along the floor and out into the corridor, says Maria Casserdahl, security officer at the reception.

"Many people find it difficult"

The leak has caused problems for the electricity in the building, but above all, a couple of employees have started to feel dust-related problems. As a result of the demolition of the roof to investigate the water damage, at least two people with asthma have been aggravated and therefore have difficulty working in the department. But those who do not have respiratory problems, such as asthma, should be able to work.

- Many people think it is difficult to have to work like this. Many people are aware of the problems and the company health has talked about what applies. Others who have received feelings are not considered to be in danger but must be able to work.

Recurring problem

At the end of last week, they were told that the construction company should inventory how much it needs to be repaired and then quickly start renovating walls and ceilings.

- They have made quick solutions without addressing the basic problem, which results in recurring problems, says Gustav Hagvall at the Health Association in Västerbotten.

According to Region Västerbotten's property area manager, the leaks should now be rectified.
