The number 010 - 476 19 18 will be used on Monday and the idea is that it will help to relieve the high pressure on the health centers and also national numbers for health issues such as 1177 and 113 13.

- There is a lot of pressure on the phones and that is why we are launching this extra line. It is easy for all conversations about corona to push away conversations about common illnesses, says Madelaine Gustafsson, development strategist in local health care in Region Halland.

Looking for retired nurses

In case of concerns and questions about the corona, the hall landings are asked to instead dial a signal to the new number. Region Halland is now looking for retired nurses who can staff the line.

- We do not want to pick up existing health care personnel that are really needed at the health centers. But it is legitimate nurses who will answer the questions, says Madelaine Gustafsson.

Have you got any pensioners?

- Yes, we are building staffing here.

What are the questions you can ask?

- There is advice on everything about corona. Extremely good because we can relieve the other healthcare, says Madelaine Gustafsson.
