Concern for the corona virus has caused the Care Guide's telephone lines to be overloaded.

- Between every third and every other question we get now is about corona and many with other questions do not come up, therefore we start a separate line for Corona issues, says Malou Linberg, operations manager for the Care Guide in Östergötland.

To get to the new line you should call the Care Guide 1177 as usual, but then choose the Coronal line when you have different options read out for yourself.

Retirees should save the situation

The Linköping telephone office usually employs about 80 people, but that is not enough, around 15 extra nurses have been picked up to manage the Coronal line. To find them, you have to call hundreds of retired nurses.

The new group is now being trained quickly, but the question is whether it will suffice. On Thursday morning it was still very difficult to arrive until 1177.
